Long-Billed Curlew In Flight Against A Blue Sky Background That Isn’t
Plus, by request, some Black-billed Magpie “mate-feeding” photos related to yesterday’s post. Today’s post is kind of like two posts crammed into one. I blame it on Stephen C. And Chris Sanborn. And Marty K. (6 photos)
Black-billed Magpie – An Unconventional Takeoff
Having plenty of room in the frame comes in handy with bird takeoffs, especially when your subject has a ridiculously long tail. (3 photos)
Northern Mockingbird Flight Display
It’s been years since I’ve seen this courtship display and yesterday I had an opportunity to photograph it. (7 photos)
Loggerhead Shrike – Perched, In Flight And Then Perched Again
A Persistent And Eventually Successful Male Say’s Phoebe
He was always on man-made perches but I photographed him so often and he was so persistent I figured he deserved his day in the limelight.
Male Northern Harrier Perched And Taking Off
Black-billed Magpie – An Interesting Flight Maneuver
Male Common Grackle Displaying In Morning Light
Robin And Starling Feeding Strategies After Yesterday’s Spring Snowstorm
Some birds are ‘smarter’ than others, or at least their feeding strategies seem to be more effective in difficult situations.
A Sneaky Chukar
I love Chukars, in part because they make hunters pay in blood, sweat and tears (literally) for every bird they get. If there’s such a thing as a hunt that is strictly “fair chase”, it’s Chukar hunting. It may be the only hunt that still is.
Male Northern Harrier Sky Dancing
Black-billed Magpie In Flight With Nesting Material
Black-billed Magpie Flashing Dominance With Its Nictitating Membranes
An Iridescent Magpie Takeoff
Yesterday morning a twist of fate resulted in one of my most unusual Black-billed Magpie photos. (4 images)
