A collection of thoughts and photos of my life and work in the northern Great Plains of North America (and occasionally other places in the world).

Another Summer Thunderstorm on the Prairie
Last night we had a quick developing thunderstorm move through the area. Crean and I were outside watching a couple of young and spotted White-tailed Deer fawns stroll through the neighborhood as the clouds gathered from the west. Pretty soon watching the cloud formations won out over cavorting fawns and I headed inside to grab the camera.
Crean and I just made it back inside when the wind hit. Soon the Mourning Doves were dodging cottonwood branches as they tacked into the wind trying to head towards the trees. A couple doves shot past the house at right angles to the wind, moving fast wherever the wind took them. A brief shower and then it was done.
Thanks for these excellent pics. I am from India and this tropical country has a excellent habitat of beautiful birds.
