A mourning dove from sunrise yesterday morning at the reflection table blind.  Funny, I now have 3 separate photo blinds dung maybe the best time of year for my personal use. Should be able to do a bit of photography this month!

A gila woodpecker coming in for a landing.  I was having some fun yesterday with the Olympus Pro Capture mode which allows you to buffer images, and the go back in time for the perfect position.

A Curve-billed thrasher from Monday night at the Desert Photo Retreat.  One of the complaints I hear from bird photographers regarding 4/3 systems like my Olympus is that you can’t get those silky smooth out of focus backgrounds.  I say non-sense!

A Pyrrhuloxia last night from the lower blind at the Desert Photo Retreat.  I have been so busy with guest and projects lately, that I haven’t had any time for my own photography.  Last night I got a chance to enjoy that beautiful light in the lower blind!
