I like any Mushroom that includes Bonett in the name.

A Red Breasted Nuthatch in Mt. Shasta, California, that I found hopping from tree to tree.

I took this photo in Yachats, Oregon, a small coastal town. This photo has a sort of yin-yang nature to it.

Watching wildlife scavenge for food and eat is one of my favorite pastimes. Capturing a pleasing photograph of an animal eating is a nice bonus. I particularly think this Gray Squirrel eating a nut it found is a great shot.

I found this Banana Slug while walking a trail in the forest. It was off to the side on a mossy embankment. My wife noticed that it was crawling towards a little hole and then we both noticed that a little mushroom was sticking out of the entrance to that hole. I wonder if it visits this location often.

If you are not a birder you may not know that this bird is called a Killdeer. And now you might be asking yourself why this bird is called a Killdeer. That’s a question that I had as well when I first learned of the name. But it’s not an answer I care to find out. I think it’s funny that this little shorebird has the name Killdeer and I don’t want the answer to disappoint me. So I’m just going to avoid it as long as I can.

I’ve always been intrigued with the red in the Killdeer’s eyes. I’ve seen a lot of birds and it is a very unique feature for the Killdeer.

The photograph of Nutria 12 was taken just moments after Nutria 11, but a much different photograph was captured.

Nutria 11 is one of my favorites from Nutria Collection #01. When I was photographing this little juvenile Nutria I was in disbelief of what I was watching. At the time I took this photo I had already been with the Nutria family for quite a while. So long that by this time the Sun had made its way too low to light up the water with the golden color that is seen in some of the other photos. And this was the very first time that I saw a Nutria stand on its hind legs. It stood up and started picking the plant material. Look at the tiny little flower in its hand. I still can’t believe I captured this. It looks like the Nutria is just walking along and picking flowers for its bouquet back home. I love it.
