Here's one of two Hooded Merganser drakes who were practising their courtship rituals (without the benefit of a female audience) on an overcast winter afternoon at the local pond. He must have been pretty surprised to see that his maneuvers were being recorded!

Her cobalt blue mascara never runs! Quiet as her mate is noisy, this female Eclectus Parrot surprised me even further by choosing to perch uncharacteristically close to my lens.

My closest encounter with a magnificent male Pileated Woodpecker, who was busy carving out a hole in a very tall tree. Rather than be spooked by the presence of a photographer nearby, this largest of North American woodpeckers would stop briefly to see who was rustling the dead leaves on the forest floor, and then resume his woodworking activities. Photographed on Galiano Island in the early evening of July 3, 2017.

Some regard the robin as a harbinger of spring, but a freak all-day snowfall and almost double-digit sub-zero temperatures the following morning is what brought ten American Robins calling to the rapidly dwindling supply of pyracantha berries. Some, like this fellow, were contemplating which to eat first. I sure hope he saw his shadow. Photographed in late February 2018.

This is the third sighting we have had of a Hermit Thrush, a lovely singer, in the yard in the past two years, but the only time we have spotted it on the front lawn -- this time, perfectly posed on the pyracantha coccinea (Scarlet Firethorn). The warm yellow you see in the backyard is the neighbor's weeping alder. Just a few days later, these golden leaves had all dropped off, and the Hermit Thrush did not make a reappearance. I was truly privileged to capture that fleeting moment of nature's beauty!

Green palm leaves unintentionally vignette an adult male Golden Pheasant, simultaneously lending a subtle artistry to my capture, while doing little to disguise his stunning gold and red plumage. If the phoenix had a mortal incarnation, this surely must be it.

Emerging from the Green: Golden Pheasant Large Christmas Stocking

Add a touch of nature to the home or office with this floral-themed throw! 

These purple Cineraria flowers provide a dazzling (and welcome) burst of color for early spring gardens. Although these African natives and members of the daily family are self-seeding perennials, I call them "Goldilocks flowers", because they require a very specific amount of rain, sunshine, and temperature to thrive.

Cute Visiting Long-Haired Calico Cat in the Garden Jigsaw Puzzle

Mid-autumn brings the return of Buffleheads to the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary. While one or two of these diminutive ducks will partake of the birdseed thrown in the water, the rest generally keep their distance from humans and the other duck species.

I was surprised to learn that Black-Headed Grosbeaks will fly to the ground to eat seed; my previous encounters with these strikingly-colored finches was strictly up (way up!) in the trees. This handsome fellow showed no restraints about catching some sun on the boardwalk, either, and unwittingly gave me several closeups of himself in the process. Photographed at Campbell Valley Regional Park on July 2, 2016.

Gold on blue make such beautiful hues. Nothing attracts the honeybees more spectacularly than the huge California Lilac that blooms with hundreds of bluish-purple clusters on the front lawn. Like a magnet, this bush draws dozens and dozens of these tireless winged workers from late spring through early summer.

Seems like everyone's got a weakness for nuts and seeds, including this California Scrub Jay. These crestless tricolored jays are a hit on the West Coast, where jays of the blue persuasion (and blue birds in general) are in short supply. Photographed in late March 2021.
