"Shrike a Pose" This Loggerhead Shrike posed beautifully in the late-day sun in Gilbert, Arizona. This was a bird I have tried to photograph for years, unsuccessfully, until today (Jan 2013). ©2013 Lisa Langell. All Rights Reserved.

"Dabbler Doubled" This Northern Shoveler took a sip from a marsh in Tucson, AZ, creating a wonderful reflection that caught my eye! The fact that the duck's head was turned slightly to his right also made for a "better image" as usually when ducks drink, they just drink head-straight-forward. In this case, his head turned to the side long enough for me to snag this image and have something just a little different from "the usual!" ©2012 Lisa Langell. All Rights Reserved.
