Here鈥檚 a fun bird I tried so hard to capture last year and finally got a good shot of this January, a Belted Kingfisher!! As their name suggests, they are great fishers, flying along waterways and diving for fish once spotted! Their calls are distinctive once you learn them but they fly so fast it can be hard (for me) to get good pictures of them unless they are perching 馃槀馃槄馃挋 . . .

Red Barn Hay Bales 4180 A by Jim Choate
Via Flickr:
Barn, hay bales and wheat fields south east of Moscow, Idaho in The Palouse late on a summer day. When I walked-by a photo of this barn on the wall of the place where I was staying, I thought, "I've been in this area a number of times. Wish I had seen this beautiful barn." Late the next day, driving over a hill on a dirt road, there it was in a small valley with a foreground of scattered hay bales. Talk about lucky!

After a nice long break I鈥檓 back to posting! 馃榿 Starting with a brand new bird for me captured on New Years Day, a White-Breasted Nuthatch! Unfortunately it flew away before I was able to get any closer/better pics but I鈥檓 just so excited to already have some new birds to add to my count this year! My final bird totals for last year were 105 photographed, 115 including the ones I didn鈥檛 get photos of but saw or heard their distinctive calls! I鈥檇 love to get 150 photographed this year and I think it shouldn鈥檛 be too hard to actually try for that! During my break I鈥檝e already gotten 49 different birds photographed and have seen/heard up to 69! 馃槃馃挄 . . .

Cave Hills Church 0651 E (Explored) by Jim Choate
Via Flickr:
Cave Hills Lutheran Church in Harding County, South Dakota, built in 1928 by Finnish settlers, sits next to rocky Juhala Hill. About 10 minutes after taking this photo, a windy afternoon thunderstorm blew through the area. While researching my seven state South Dakota road trip, I had decided to make a short side trip to see this picturesque church and was not disappointed, as it's one of the most beautiful churches I鈥檝e seen in the last few years. This scene is located in the least populated, most remote part of South Dakota. Though I grew-up in South Dakota, I had never been to the Cave Hills area. Hope to spend a day or two sometime shooting in this stunningly beautiful part of the state.
