Summertime…

…is winding down. And this shot of a guy fishing from his houseboat in the upper end of Newport Harbor sort of sums it all up. As does the song that follows the photo.

Murray Utah Senior Pictures {Katelyn}

If you missed the sneak peak of Katelyn’s senior pictures photo session check them out! Her location was killer. I loved it. And her outfit changes were perfect. She’s a senior this year in Murray. I love love doing senior pictures for people. Seniors actually listen to you, and do what you tell them to do, and they’re at the greatest age for photography. It’s so rewarding making this mini adults look fabulous. :) Best of luck to you Katelyn!!!







Hoory! The Sun’s Back!

Yup, it rained from Sunday through Wednesday, and there was even one shower yesterday (Thursday) morning, but by the afternoon the sun finally returned. I celebrated by walking down to Gooseneck Cove to see who was hanging out, and ended up out at Brenton Point as well, before making my way back to Ballard Park.

There wasn’t anything interesting off Hazard Rd. on the Cove, but down on the Ocean Drive end at the Green Bridge it was feeding frenzy time – about 2 dozen Double-Crested Cormorants, a dozen Great Egrets, a dozen Snowy Egrets, 2 Great Blue Herons, and about 10 Common Terns. It was near high tide and the Cormorants were corralling the fish while the rest of the birds waded (the Egrets and Herons) or dove (the Terns) into the fray. Unfortunately most of this happened well outside camera range for me, although it was fun to watch in the binoculars. But I did manage to get a shot of an immature Bonaparte’s Gull across the road on the ocean side.

On the way to Brenton Point I stopped at King’s Beach, a state-designated fishing area on a rocky point into the ocean (not to be confused with King Park on the south end of Newport Harbor). This pair of Herring Gulls were taking their ease in the sunlight.

On Brenton Point the small shore birds were all over the place. I estimate that there were at least 3 dozen Ruddy Turnstones (top photo), including several immature birds (middle photo), and another 3 dozen or so Semipalmated Plovers (bottom photo).



Eventually I wandered back to Ballard Park, where I found not a bird, but this Whitetail Deer fawn crashing around in the underbrush in the (seasonally) dry end of the vernal pond on the Quarry floor.

That was yesterday. Today was even sunnier, and much drier and cooler, and I went ambling down on the Cliff Walk. Unfortunately there were too many people there for me to enjoy the walk, but I did manage to get a shot of this male American Goldfinch having a feast on the Bull Thistle he was perched on. Goldfinches just loooooove Thistle!

Yes indeed, it’s so nice when the sun comes back after a long rainy stretch!

Vacation, part V: Flókalundur, West fjord.

Sometime you do not need to travel a lot to see birds. First here is a picture of the house we rent at the west fjord. The place was called Flókalundur and was very nice.Parfois, il n’est pas nécessaire de voyager pour voir les oiseaux. Voici d’abord une photo de la maison que nous avions loué dans les fjords de l’ouest, dans une région nommée Flókalundur. L’endroit était superbe.Photo taken by ©

The sweetest little newborn| Utah newborn photographer

Meet fresh little Asher. He was such a good boy for his first photo shoot. :) I’m telling you, they grow SO fast. In a week, he’ll be bigger. It’s so great to photograph these newborns when they’re NEW NEW. Just to remember and document their utter smallness.








Black-footed Ferret is Making a Comeback

Photo by Brian Gratwick

The Black-footed ferret should not be confused with its close relative the domesticated ferret. Contrary to the domesticated ferret which originates from Europe, the black-footed ferret is native to North America; in fact, it is the only indigenous species to North America.

The domestic ferret as the name would imply is widely kept as a pet and varies in color from white to nearly black usually with a dark mask and tail. The Black-footed ferret has dull yellow fur that is slightly darker on the back.

The degradation of the ferret’s home, the prairie grassland, significant decline of prairie dog populations (the ferret source of food), and disease have all led to the near-extinction of the species. This mid-sized member of the weasel family once found in almost every prairie dog colony across the length and breadth of the North American plains, from the Rio Grande north to the Frenchman Valley, was extirpated from Canada in 1937 and globally extinct in the wild by the late 1970s. It was officially listed under the Canadian Species at Risk Act in May 2000 and classified as endangered in the U.S. as of 1967. For a long time it was believed that the species was extinct until 1981 where a small group of about 130 ferrets were discovered near Meeteetse, Wyoming. At that time, these last known ferrets were probably the rarest mammals on earth. In 1985, these same ferrets were taken into captivity to be bred at various facilities across North America with the intention of being reintroduced into the wild.

Today, after being erased from the Canadian prairie over seven decades ago and after dwindling to a whisker of extinction, the black-footed ferret has made its comeback. “In the early hours of July 14, a playful litter of kits was observed,” announced Federal Environment Minister Jim Prentice. “The black-footed ferret mother and her three kits appeared healthy and engaged in honing their survival instincts.”

On October 2, 2009, a population of 34 black-footed ferrets were released into Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan; of those 34 at least 12 survived the winter. Here is a link to footage of the first black-footed ferret kits born in the Canadian wild. In the coming months you will also have the opportunity to take in this exciting new discovery through the documentary Nature of Things with David Suzuki.
