Welcome!

Wildlife photographer Dave Grainger 

 

Please enjoy this gallery of Western bird life! My focus has been on capturing interesting behaviors and poses that make subjects come alive, although they rarely choose to follow my instructions for modeling. Dave and Pat Grainger live in Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. 

Avocets, Ibis, Stilts, Heron, Wandering Tattlers, Puffins, Rhinoceros Auklets, and many more in between, photographed from Alaska to the Salton Sea, Black Hills of South Dakota to the San Juan Islands, please enjoy this flock of bird photos. Dave Grainger's lenses and Pat Grainger's bird expertise gathered these together for your enjoyment.
