We had about 10 female turkeys prance through our back yard a couple days ago. They were followed by two males who started a mating ritual which drew one of the females back. What followed was an interesting five minutes or so which included a feathery head massage before they got down to business.

More wildlife photography here…

I saw this bird in my backyard the other day, and I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of bird before. Anyone know what kind it is?

I’ve been told it is a varied thrush (Ixoreus naevius).

During my ride around Crater Lake last Saturday I pulled over to take a photo of the lake, and this little one came scampering up the side of the caldera, seemingly for the sole reason of getting its picture taken.

Something today from a couple weekends ago when we hung out at our friends’ ranch in Beatty, Oregon.

About an hour and half drive south of Ashland on I-5 will put you in Castle Crags State Park. There are several hikes to choose from; we did Castle Dome and Indian Springs which total about 6 miles. That may not sound like much, but with over 2,200 feet of elevation gain (and, of course, descent as well) this is a strenuous hike. The views are totally worth it though.

Indian Springs is probably skipped by most, but I found that little piece of the hike to be totally worth it (on the way down).

…I was supposed to be shooting a regatta on Emigrant Lake in Ashland, but sometimes I got distracted.
