This is my life book- a place to collect a list in pictures of the different forms of life I have seen. I have tried to include the date/time/location of each subject. This list might be heavy on the birds because they are my current interest, but there will be other things featured as well. Some of the pictures are great, and some not so great- I never know when I'll come across something interesting and sometimes all I have is my camera phone on hand to capture an image.

Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata)
Northern Shoveler (Anas clypeata)
This male and female pair of northern shovelers was seen at Fossil Creek Reservoir on the afternoon of March 20th, 2012. These dabbling ducks have a neat spatulate bill that they use to forage for food. This picture was taken using my iPhone and a scope from a long distance away. You can read more about these ducks here.
