Capturing Colorado's wide variety of wildlife. From the plains to the mountains, there is definitely a wide variety of subjects.

A nice variety of images was captured while photographing this bald eagle pair today. High-key, silhouettes, and black-and-white!

A coyote moves through the fresh snow. A slight overexposure makes the snow appear brighter and creates a high-key effect in the image.

Snow finally hit Denver, and I was lucky enough to film this bald eagle taking off in the falling snow — slow-mo makes it even more magical.

Snowy egrets strike fast — blink and you’ll miss it. Timing is everything when you’re chasing that perfect shot!

Wood stork in some beautiful morning light. I always like when you get nice reflections in the water.

Wood Stork enjoying some crayfish for breakfast. This juvenile wood stork has become quite the local celebrity here in Colorado. The last time one was seen in this area was in 1934!

Slow-motion video showing how quickly these snowy egrets hunt. This one caught the fish, dropped it, and still managed to catch it again!

@petitegreene Thank you!

[Dan Walters @danwal2]

I usually don't see many great egrets at the local pond I like to visit, but this morning, there were two very active birds!

@jeremyjojola It is a great app! I use when doing my photography, especially any birds I don't recognize.

@avianpics Thank you!

[Dan Walters @danwal2]

I love a good low-key photo opportunity. This snowy egret was perfectly positioned in the soft morning light, and the mirror-like reflection made the moment even more special.

The weather has been a bit rainy, but our group has had some fantastic photo opportunities during Lisa Langell's Magic of Alaska workshops.
