How Ravens Dispose Of The Wastes Of Their Chicks…
Bald Eagle Snagging A Fish Out Of Water
To say I was excited to get this two shot series is an understatement. A later event took the shine off of one of the images for me but at the time I didn’t know what the future would bring.
Red-naped Sapsucker – Another Surprise Visitor At The Aspens
The highlight of my morning yesterday was a serendipitous male Red-naped Sapsucker who showed up unexpectedly at the aspen tree containing swallow and wren nest cavities.
Yellow Warbler In The Uinta Mountains
Last week I posted a few Yellow Warbler images that were taken in the Wasatch Mountains on May 30. I took the photos below on the next day in the Uinta Mountains. Given my pathetic track record with the species I’d say I’m on a roll with Yellow Warblers.
Uinta Ground Squirrel Pups Learning Important Lessons
Yesterday I was very lucky to find these pups with their mother outside their burrow because youngsters are weaned at 22 days of age and their mother almost completely abandons them after weaning. Then they’re on their own so they disperse to establish their own territories. And try to survive.
Loggerhead Shrike With Prey And In Flight
Plus a surprising reacquisition of focus on the shrike by the 7D Mark II after it took off directly at me.
Some Interesting Swainson’s Hawk Mating And Feeding Behaviors
Loggerhead Shrikes – Courtship Feeding Plus Two Flight Shots
American Avocets At Bear River MBR Yesterday Morning
Female American Kestrel With Prey
It’s been a while since a kestrel allowed me a close approach so I appreciated the close action as this female enjoyed her furry breakfast on a great perch (photos are not gory).
Female American Kestrel In A Setting I Love
Occasionally one of my photos will grow in me the more I reflect on it and this one from yesterday morning is an example.
Back-brooding Clark’s Grebe With A Chick About To Abandon Ship
With their eyes completely surrounded by white and an orange bill I think Clark’s Grebes have a slightly more elegant appearance than the nearly identical Western Grebe. But I love spending time with both species, especially when they’re back brooding chicks.
Snakes As Prey For Red-tailed Hawks
Red-tailed Hawks are known to prey on snakes and they don’t necessarily exclude the venomous species as menu choices.
Coot Chase
During a coot chase I can seldom see both birds in my photos. In this series I can. The following five images are presented in the order they were taken with no skips.
