    Rocky's faves from 2013

    Nice work, Rocky. I think Lost Horizon is my favorite. Best of luck with "retirement" and your new adventures this year. Max

    Best of 2013

    I'd love to see everyone's favorite images from the past year. If you've published a "Best of" collection, please share the link or a photo or two here. (Apologies if this thread has been started elsewhere.) I just uploaded my fifteen favorite images and moments here. Max

    Its owl season

    It's been quiet, owl-wise in Skagit as well. Only one short-eared spotted in my two trips up. Across the border I didn't have any luck either, though a couple snowies have finally been spotted at Boundary Bay, and long-eared and short-eared are occasionally being seen. A rare northern hawk...

    Share photos of your guest to your bird feeders here :)

    We have a tiny yard, and have only been using feeders the last couple years. Still, it's been fun seeing who shows up. Generally we don't get a lot of variety (mainly juncos, chickadees and sparrows), but we've had a few random sightings: waxwing, Townsend's warbler, varied thrush...

    What's going on at the Ridgefield wildlife refuge. 12/14/13

    Nice shots of the nutria, Janice. At least something is happening down there. I've found things to be pretty slow during my visits up to Skagit and to Boundary Bay and Reifel in BC so far this winter. Max

    a not-so-elusive rail

    Very cool, Rocky. I can't say I recall seeing one of these locally before. Max

    Skagit Flats Snow Geese

    Nice to see they're here already, Terry. Did you notice much raptor activity? Max

    Rainier Wildflower Update?

    Thanks Bob! Max

    Rainier Wildflower Update?

    I'm wondering if anyone's been to Rainier/Paradise lately and knows how the wildflowers are progressing. I have a friend thinking of flying in for them, and I want to be sure I give him an accurate estimate. That is, if "late July/early August" will still be pretty good, or if the warmer temps...

    The Owl and the Mole

    Very cool, Janice. Frankly, seeing the mole is nearly as cool as seeing the owl, IMO. ;) Max

    river otter

    Nice job, Rocky. I'm envious. Max

    Wildlife of Edmonds, WA.

    Bill, your falcon actually looks like a mature Cooper's or sharp-shinned hawk (I can never tell the difference), based on the shape of the body, tail and wings and the markings on chest and face. A nice find regardless. Great catch with the otter and fish. Max

    Wildlife of Edmonds, WA.

    The otter's a great find. One of my favorite animals, that I have yet to see locally unfortunately. It would be nice to get more photos for an updated version of my otter calendar. ;) Max

    Canon 50D vs Canon 1D Mark IV vs Canon 1D-X

    I shoot in a lot of "high ISO" environments, so the move to the 5D Mark III and eventually the 1DX was worth it for me for that reason alone. I'm fortunate to now have a 1DX and Mark IV as my primary bodies, and I have to admit that I don't miss the "crop factor" at all, even though I usually...

    Baird's Tapir

    A portrait of a Baird's tapir, photographed in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. I spent a month in Costa Rica leading a couple of photo tours, and both tours culminated in a stay inside Corcovado, probably the best place for general wildlife in the entire country. It's also the best...

    A bird you don't see every day

    Mike, good stuff. I was down there all of February leading a couple of tours, including two to Savegre (which is where I assume you photographed this guy?). During the first tour the male and female were in the area but hadn't settle in yet, but by the time I returned later in the month, they...

    Thoughts...

    I agree with Janice's crop. Too much foreground black really weighs it down. I like the sky, but the most dynamic elements are confined to only one half of it in this image. Since you asked, I would say either hold off on hanging (because I bet you can capture something with even more...

    Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, British Coluimbia 2-1-13

    Great job getting the herons in the open! They were obscured every time I saw them. Max

    Boundary Bay, British Columbia, 2-1-13

    Bill, I think we met yesterday. Were you in the group with the fellow wearing the Wazzu hat (perhaps that was you)? We never did make it down to look for the snowies. Your shot with the undulating roof pattern behind is pretty cool. I'm about to post my photos from yesterday as well. The...

    U of Washington basketball

    Nice job, Eric. I've spent some time up on the catwalk this fall shooting hoops and volleyball. It a fun, though slightly harrowing experience. I hope you removed all your loose items before going out there! ;) Because the window is so small around the hoop when bending over the railing...
