White Pelican in Flight

I took my youngest daughter to Utah Lake today, and we had a great time. The place is exploding with life. I took several frames these bombers if flight.... here is one.

Colorful Beetle

Posted By Tyler Allred

While at Utah Lake with my youngest daughter, we stumbled across this beetle in the bark of a tree. I switched from bird mode into macro mode and broke out the 200mm Micro Nikkor. This bettle proved to be quite colorful.... my daughters think it looks like it is covered with Christmas lights.
Cheers,

Kingfisher Defending ?

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I found a group of four female kingfishers defending nest sites (I think) in a topsoil pile at the jobsite. Each time another female would come toward this site, the defending bird would raise its wings and try to look big and tough. I shot a slug of frames, but will only post a few. These were taken with the D100 at prime focus of the Celestron 5.
Cheers,

Whooooo has babies?

Posted By Tyler Allred

This great horned owl, thats who! Taken today, within 100 yards of my office, near Heber City, Utah. There were actually three babies in the nest, but I couldn't get the last one to look my way.
