Sage Thrashers Hunting Bugs On Antelope Island (and the misery of biting gnats)
The island is teeming with bugs right now and nesting Sage Thrashers are taking advantage of the situation.

Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey And At The Nest
This male Short-eared Owl was a super-efficient hunter and provider for his family.
Swainson’s Hawks Are Yet Another Reason To Love Sphinx Moths
The web of life is indeed intertwined – in this case with two of my favorite photographic subjects.
American Robin – A New Behavior For Me
I should have known long ago that robins did this. That’s what happens when you too often ignore a species just because it’s “common”.
Our Western Kingbirds Are Back
One of the birds whose return I most look forward to in the spring is the Western Kingbird.
A Previously Unknown Badger Behavior
An American Badger here in Utah buried an entire cow carcass and they have it on “video” – (really time lapse photography, speeded up). It’s only a calf but it’s still hugely impressive and the behavior was previously unknown.
Another Meadowlark Series (but for me this one’s special)
This may be the most humorous series I’ve ever photographed but then my mother always did say I had a warped sense of humor.
“My” Female Kingfisher Is Back!
Cooper’s Hawk With Pigeon Prey
I always carry another camera attached to my 100-400mm lens in my pickup no matter where I go and sometimes it pays off. Doing so allowed me to get this unexpected ten image series that I think is quite interesting.
Western Meadowlark – They Just Can’t Help But Sing
In springtime meadowlarks are at the mercy of their hormones. No matter what they’re doing they often burst into song right in the middle of it.
A Peregrine Falcon To Try My Patience
Persistence and dogged tenacity are often prerequisites of bird photography but even then there’s no guarantee of success.
Swainson’s Hawk With A Vole
Sometimes City Hall Responds Positively To Critique And Suggestions
Rough-legged Hawk On A Rabbit Kill
I carry a second camera and lens combo with me whenever I’m in the field. Yesterday it paid off handsomely.
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight With Prey
This cooperative adult Red-tailed Hawk with prey was a huge challenge under difficult conditions yesterday morning.
