  • A wild grouse chase — the search for greater and lesser prairie-chickens

    KANSAS is home to two main species of prairie-chickens, lesser prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) and greater prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus cupido), and some hybrids thrown in. The differences are subtle but easy to spot once you know what to look for. Recently, I accompanied my photography buddy and grouse expert, Noppadol Paothong, on a trip to Kansas to research lek locations… [Continue Reading]

  • Columbian sharp-tailed grouse dance to impress

    I HAVE MADE occasional trips to photograph Columbian sharp-tailed grouse on a lek in southern Wyoming for almost a decade. The Columbian sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus columbianus) is one of the seven recognized subspecies of North American sharp-tailed grouse. It is also the rarest and smallest of the subspecies of sharp-tailed grouse. Columbian sharp-tailed grouse… [Continue Reading]

  • Warm beach or -27°F? 

    I know our friends think Carol and I are a bit crazy. Our recent “Spring vacation” supports their case. While everyone we knew was heading to the beach to soak up the sun and dip their toes in the ocean and warm sand, we headed to the frigid mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park where temperatures were… [Continue Reading]

  • After a million visiting birds, quiet time at Loess Bluffs

    A few weeks ago, I made a scouting trip to the Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Missouri near the Nebraska/Iowa/Missouri border. I use the word “scouting” trip as I knew I was traveling there long after the big migration of waterfowl (and the accompanying bald eagles) had passed through. Still, I wanted to… [Continue Reading]

  • Greater sage-grouse symphony

    One of my favorite things about photographing greater sage-grouse is the sound they make. It’s an indescribable other-worldly popping sound created when they inflate and deflate their big yellow throat sacs. Coming soon In-depth photographic and video coverage of greater sage-grouse and sharp-tailed grouse What I love about the experience is the anticipation of the greater… [Continue Reading]

  • Bear and human conflicts along Chilkoot River corridor

    I was dismayed but not surprised to hear about the recent bad behavior by visitors to the Chilkoot River corridor near Haines, Alaska. The narrow mile-long river and road corridor between scenic Chilkoot Lake and the ocean is a popular destination for the 80,000 tourists and sportfishing anglers who visit each year. It’s also popular… [Continue Reading]

    Bald eagles are what initially brought me to the Chilkat River near Haines, Alaska. While I continue make the eagles an important part of my coverage, I have become interested in issues related to the eagles. For example, one of the questions I set out to explore is why the eagles come to the Chilkat… [Continue Reading]

  • Call the “High One” Denali, not Mt. McKinley

    UPDATE: On August 31, 2015, President Obama put the issue to rest and changed Mt. McKinley to Denali. Yesterday’s news that Alaska Republican U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan are making the annual introduction of a bill to officially rename 20,310-foot Mt. McKinley to it’s original historical Athabaskan name, Denali (the Great One or… [Continue Reading]

  • Bald eagle’s view of Constantine Metals Palmer Deposit

    Whenever I take aerial photographs of the Chilkat Valley near Haines, Alaska, I am reminded of how intertwined people and wildlife are in this valley. I also find that places that seem big or far away when viewed from the ground look small, insignificant and close-by from the air. It gives meaning to the term, “getting the… [Continue Reading]

  • Nugget Falls – a lesson of scale in Alaska

    Scale is an important concept to grasp in Alaska. Things are big, really big — actually bigger than big. However, scale in Alaska is also not what it appears to be. My introduction to this phenomenona goes back over 15 years ago when my wife Carol and I made our first backpack trip in Denali National… [Continue Reading]
