Willard Canyon

I went for a short hike up Willard Canyon yesterday. There was a fair amount of water for this late in the year and nice fall colors considering how few trees are up there.

Bear River Bird Refuge

These aren't the newest photos, but I was going through some shots from Bear River Bird Refuge from last month and thought I'd put a few online. Enjoy.

Last week, I went out with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources as they released pheasants at Salt Creek WMA just before the start of the hunting season. This year, Utah is drastically increasing the number of birds being released. I also shot a video which you can find here, along with an article and more photos. Enjoy some of the selects below.

Wetland Manager Randy Berger examines the beak of a captive-bred pheasant before its release at Salt Creek WMA on Friday, Nov. 1, 2013. The bird was raised with blinders in order to keep it from attacking other pheasants. The blinders are an alternative to the old method of trimming beaks. (BENJAMIN ZACK/Standard-Examiner)

Softball Championships

I spent several days last week photographing the high school state softball championships. While the action is similar to any other game during the season, emotions were running high. Below are some of the photos I shot in the moments of celebration and defeat. More photos can be seen here and here.
