No, this is not about some infamous rapper. It’s about the Little Bittern. Not much rapping there, producing a mere monotonous ‘dog barking’ is what they do. And that’s usually all you get from then. […]
American Pipit – the Alticola Edition
While visiting the Rockies last month, I noticed some Pipit-like birds walking on the snow. Immediately I started taking pictures, still not sure which Pipit I was shooting exactly. As it turned out, it’s an […]
Mountain Marmots
To me, marmots and mountains are strongly connected. I remember, as a child, visiting the Swiss Alps and seeing and hearing these wonderful ‘Murmeltiere’ high up in the mountains. Last month, I visited the Rocky […]
