Sorry this is so late today, but Anne and I finally arrived at our initial destination, Managua, Nicaragua, just after midnight this morning. We hustled to our hotel by the airport, woke up my sister, Deb, who had arrived earlier yesterday, and hit the sack as fast as we could. This morning, we were wokenContinue reading “Nicaragua Day 1!”

The babies of 2025…
While I’m traveling today, let me show you some of the babies we got to welcome into Estabrook Park last year. The first ones came in March, when I started to see the amazing great horned owlets, although I had to keep them under wraps until the end of May. Sorry about that. In April,Continue reading “The babies of 2025…”
Another mystery potentially solved…
The forecast lake effect snow held off till after 9am today, and the weather was otherwise relatively mild, compared to what we’ve been enjoying lately, so it was a pleasant morning in Estabrook Park. The critters, on the other hand, seemed to act as though heavy snow was imminent, and I only had one decentContinue reading “Another mystery potentially solved…”
Buena Vista Prairie Chicken Meadow
First, thanks to all of you who came out to the Friends of Estabrook Annual Meeting last evening. We had a great turnout for such a cold day, and I’m sorry that I didn’t get to show as many pictures as I had expected, but Harold had a lot of ground to cover. Now, onContinue reading “Buena Vista Prairie Chicken Meadow”
Don’t forget to insert title here…
Our current deep freeze remains quite persistent, and the weather this morning in Estabrook Park was nearly the same as yesterday. Things were pretty quiet along the river, and on my way upstream I saw a couple of goldeneyes, a few common mergansers, and a few mallards, but no pictures I felt compelled to take.Continue reading “Don’t forget to insert title here…”
It was a beautiful, if chilly, sunny morning in Estabrook Park, and the early light let me get to work nice and early today. What a great way to start the week. On my way upstream to meet the weekly wildlife walkers, I heard first, and then soon spotted, the one mammal I saw allContinue reading

I’m on the schedule to show some wildlife pictures, so if you’ve always wanted toContinue reading “It’s amazing what a little warmup can do…”
A fond look back on Utah in 2025…
Somehow yesterday I thought it would be warmer this morning, and it is a little bit. But the thermometer’s only at -11°F, and the breeze is pushing the wind chill down into the negative twenties, so when I asked my camera if this was warm enough, it wouldn’t even answer me. Thus, I have oneContinue reading “A fond look back on Utah in 2025…”
A look back to a warmer time and place…
Well, the forecast extreme cold did arrive, and I’ve been out in colder, but I’ve noticed that my camera doesn’t like it much, so that’s my excuse for staying in this morning. Instead, let’s look back at another great trip to a warm place I had the good fortune to take in 2025: Arizona. IfContinue reading “A look back to a warmer time and place…”
A nice day before temps fall off a cliff…
This morning in Estabrook Park was prettier than I had been led to expect. Temps and winds, however, were both in the low teens, so the windchill was right around 0°F, and there were not many critters out and about. Sure, there were plenty of ducks on the river, including common goldeneye and merganser hens,Continue reading “A nice day before temps fall off a cliff…”
