With blazing speed, the dorsal fin of a Pacific White-sided Dolphin breaks the surface of the water, sending droplets into the air in mesmerizing patterns. These fast-moving cetaceans were a near daily sight earlier this month, when I spent some time

I can spend countless hours watching and photographing swallows. These beautiful birds are mesmerizing as they perform aerial acrobatics to capture their insect prey on the wing. They also accomplish impressive feats of migration, with some species m

A heard of Dall’s Sheep stand on a ridge in the Yukon, as the first rays of sunrise light illuminate the landscape. These remarkable ungulates thrive in a spectacular but harsh landscape that spends much of the year under snow, providing fantas

With its piercing yellow eyes, a Great Gray Owl stares out from the shadows of the forest. This particular individual seemed to have eyes so bright that it was as if they were luminous. By exposing for those spectacular eyes, they stood out beautiful
