I’ve been perplexed and curious about something I watched this pelican do for over six years now. But the purpose I tentatively propose for the behavior I documented in these photos seems more than a little far fetched so I’ve never brought it up. Until now.
This male, photographed near a mountain stream three days ago, might have been my most prolific posing kingfisher ever.
Yesterday morning I decided to renew my acquaintance with the pair of nesting Red-tailed Hawks I’ve been following for weeks now.
Two days ago I posted a mini-review of the new NOVA documentary on PBS entitled “Eagle Power”. A reader has provided additional and relevant information on the black fly incident that was very nearly lethal to the Decorah eaglets that played a pivotal role in the documentary.
Yesterday morning in the Wasatch Mountains I triumphed over strong winds, impending dense clouds and an unnecessary road construction nightmare caused by UDOT and actually got a few (very few) keeper photos.
I have something in common with this hard working bluebird and his mate – home improvements.
The exuberance of the singing Marsh Wren may be unmatched in North American marshes.
Yesterday morning I spent some time in the mountains looking mostly for songbirds. The focus limiter on my lens and I had a couple of disagreements which I inevitably lost so I botched several of my most promising photo ops but I thought this encounter with a Yellow Warbler turned out to be a fun and interesting one.
