Marsh and Wading Birds : Marsh birds are often very criptic and seldom seen. Herons are graceful, slow-moving, highly photogenic birds. Here are my attempts at capturing them.

Chiricahuan Birds II: Mountain Highlands : The Chiricahua Mountains in extreme southeast Arizona have been called THE premier bird area in all of North America. Home to Coatimundi (a relative of the raccoon) and species of wildlife that are found only in this mountain range, the Chiricahuas are a perfect example of a "Sky Island". The name rings down through the lore of the Old West, too; this is the ancestral home of the Chiricahua Apaches, whose names include such legends as Cochise and Geronimo. With its spectacular landscapes, abundant birds, and location off-the-beaten-track, it's the kind of place where I can repeatedly return to and never tire of its wonders. These are photos from my 8-day stay there in late June 2008. Speaking staying, a place I can highly recommend for lodging while visiting the Chiricahuas is Portal Peak Lodge; their website is here --- http://www.portalpeaklodge.com . If after seeing my photos you do decide to visit, tell 'em Steve Wolfe sent you... :o) The bird photos were taken with the Canon 40D DSLR and an EF 100-400 f4.5/5.6L IS lens, while the landscapes were captured with the Pentax K10D and a Pentax DA 16-45mm lens with a circular polarizer. A book packed with information on southeast Arizona birds and detailed descriptions of the places they can be found is Rick Taylor's "A Birder's Guide to Southeastern Arizona," published by the American Birding Association ( http://www.abasales.com/index.php?main_page=pubs_product_book_info&products_id=493 ) It was my guide in the Chiricahuas, and a book I'd recommend for anyone visiting the area. This part of my Chiricahuan adventures (Part 1: Desert and Canyons can be found at http://trailhiker.smugmug.com/gallery/5616913_iug9X ) deals with the birds found in the area known as the High Chiricahuas, a magnificent expanse of rugged mountainscape running atop the spine of the range.

Hummingbirds : These are hummingbirds from primarily my backyard but there are a few from other parts of Texas as well. They are all ruby throated hummingbirds with just a few images of a black-chinned hummingbird and a buff-bellied hummingbird.

Mostly Twigs : Welcome to Mostly Twigs! Almost all of these pictures were taken in the wild or semi wild, parks and such. Birds that were going about their business and occasionally being curious about what the hell I was doing on their patch. Because these shots are taken in the wild and my shooting style is one of hiking, stalking etc. it's sometimes difficult (but fun) to get set up for that perfect shot. Of course serendipity comes into play and is one of the big attractions of this kind of shooting. I will sort things into sub galleries as soon as I figure out how to do that. In the mean time I will continue to add photos and text. Enjoy. Cheers Bryan
