Dusky Flycatcher – The ‘Best’ Bird I’ve Photographed In Quite A While
By ‘best’ I mean that this flycatcher gave me more poses yesterday, on more perches, over more time than any other small bird in longer than I can remember. And “he” even allowed me a bunch of shots with prey for good measure, including a yellowjacket.
A Young And Inexperienced Osprey Loses A Fish
I’m sure this juvenile Osprey worked hard for the fish but what looked to me like a rookie mistake cost it a meal.
Spotted Towhee(s) Transitioning Into Adult Plumage
These juveniles look a little scruffy this time of year but I refuse to make a big deal out them not looking their best, especially after the photo I posted of myself two days ago.
The Serviceberry-eating Strategy Of A Lazuli Bunting
It’s often little things like the subtle survival skills of birds that interest me most.
The Song Sparrow Versus The Serviceberry

An adult in flight feeding one of its fledglings. And let’s just say it’s being done enthusiastically by both participants.
My First Ever Say’s Phoebe Takeoff And Flight Shots

Western Grebe Trying To Kill And Swallow A Channel Catfish
Not a good idea! Swallowing a channel catfish whole is almost like swallowing a pincushion with the sharp ends of the pins sticking out.
Lark Sparrow With Prey (Plus A ‘Red’)
A few of the birds on Antelope Island are still in the late stages of nesting, including this Lark Sparrow and a female Bullock’s Oriole I saw at a distance feeding a recent fledgling.
The Novel ‘Revenge’ Of The American Goldfinch
Folks who dislike Brown Cowbirds for their habit of nest parasitism will likely appreciate this unique “revenge” of the American Goldfinch. We’ll get into that soon but first some goldfinch photos I took yesterday morning.
