Belted Kingfisher Fishing Techniques

A Startled American Kestrel
Male Common Goldeneye Foraging In Rapids Of The Jordan River
This was one of my most challenging bird photography sessions ever but the behavior was fascinating to watch.
Female American Kestrel Feeding On A Vole
This pretty little female kestrel enjoyed a vole breakfast yesterday morning along the causeway to Antelope Island. I’ll spare you most of the gory details but raptor feeding behavior is one of the many behaviors that I find interesting.
A Barn Owl And A Red-tailed Hawk In Blue Creek Valley
A recent trip to northern Box Elder County produced some interesting raptors and uniquely challenging shooting conditions.

Magpies Building Nests Already And Ice-fishing Herons
I photographed two interesting bird behaviors yesterday morning on Antelope Island and at Farmington Bay WMA.
