Rufous Hummingbird

This was is my favorite Rufous shot!

Ring-necked Pheasant

To find this grass-dwelling bird on Steigerwald's Gibben's Creek drinking from a log while allowing the still water to reflect its image was special. One of those moments where you think to yourself, "oh, this is going to be good! I hope I got it."

Hairy Woodpecker

This was a very active individual. It was taking the moss and lichens off a tree trunk to get at something more tasty. You can see the debris flying, but it managed to hold still enough for this slow and dark photo to be taken.

Anna's Hummingbird

This male loved visiting the wild currant near the parking lot of Steigerwald Lake NWR

Great Blue Heron

This heron seemed to know exactly where to stand to make the perfect heron, log, and reflective fall background. Thanks, buddy!
