We went to the Bird Refuge on Shiloh, actually to look at certain grasses that are key to bird specie in grasslands and wetlands. While we were there I saw Swallows, Canvasbacks, Harlequin Ducks, Mallards, and the Sarus Crane.  I got some great clear photos of the species, but in the wild I would not have gotten the same photos. It was just nice that they were so close, to take pictures of. 

Here is a collection of photos I took while releasing Black Footed Ferrets on the Crow reservation. Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out my camera settings and had some trouble getting good focused photos of the ferrets. But I did get some pretty awesome sunset photos, which are below. I used my Canon Rebel, and I had my Aperture Value set at 16.

This is my first photo that I edited in Light Room. I really liked all the options that I could use to edit my photo and make it the best it can be. I did have trouble editing the glare from the lake, I couldn't figure out how to use the brush tool. That would be the one thing I would change if I can figure it out. Otherwise, I really like this photo, I am still learning how to use my canon, so it's not as close and focused as I would like it to be.
