South Dakota Birds and Birding

Recent Photos and Artwork

Below are some of the most recent photos I've taken.   While I primarily shoot birds, I do sometimes shoot other things, so will occasionally put those on this page as well.  You'll also notice I've started to do some drawings of birds, and will post some of my most recent artwork.  Sometimes it's a lot easier to draw at home, than to find time to get out and shoot!!

Click on the photo for a blown-up version.
