Raven Pair
Photographed at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.
Waiting at a pull-out in the Biscuit Basin area. Looks like this one was foraging in the thermal ash instead of waiting for a hand-out.

Plenty of Harrier action but counted on five Bald Eagles last weekend. Our current snowtorm with blow out the smog and hopefully blow in more Eagles.

American Kestrel photographed in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This little guy has been hanging around in the 80 foot high cottonwoods in the lot across the street from my house. I think he's the same individual that spent the winter around here last year.

500 Ring-billed Gull
Larus delawarensis
250 California Gull
Larus californicus
2 Herring Gull
Larus argentatus
2 Thayer's Gull
