I heard the snow geese flying overhead, quickly aimed upward, zoomed in and snapped a photo. Afterwards I noticed that everything had lined up perfectly. Taken with a Canon Powershot SX530.

Conditions looked promising for a nice sunset so and friend and I made the 90 minute drive up north to Deception Pass.  Things fell into place very nicely for us as the sun dropped down where we anticipated, and there was a very nice orange tint in the sky as the sun set.  Taken with a Nikon Z7 with a 150 – 600mm Tamron telephoto lens.		DSC_9550.jpg

Nisqually Wildlife Refuge	2021/02/17

This coyote was hunting in the tall grass. While I got several clear shots of him in the open, I think this one best emphasizes his stealthy hunting skills. I had to switch to manual focus to get the shot. I used a Nikon D850 at 500mm.
