An evening visit to one of my favorite refuges. — Jenny
Mule deer holding so still I thought it might be a decoy
Great blue heron
Avocets, willets, dabbling ducks etc.
Mountain reflections
Raccoon! I was so excited to get a decent photo of this guy that I got out of my car, walked closer to the tree (still 20 or so yards away) and used the manual focus while fending of the swarm of mosquitoes that came for me. I’m sure I looked ridiculous jerking the big lens/camera around whenever that buzzing sound came for my face.
Great blue heron
Sunset blues
Hundreds of blackbirds
Another great blue heron
Why yes, I mostly got photos of great blue herons
