Male Northern Harrier Stomping On A Vole
And in this context I do mean stomping. First a brief explanation of the behavior, one I’ve seen multiple times with this species but have only rarely been able to photograph.
Category: Behaviors
An Angry, Frustrated And Frightened Barn Swallow
Have you ever accidentally (or on purpose, c’mon – admit it!) had your fingers stuck together by superglue? If so this swallow knows how you felt.
Bald Eagles – To Fight Or Not To Fight?
Amongst Bald Eagles tensions often rise over food. But whether or not a fight will actually break out can be very difficult to predict.
Miscellaneous Merganser Moments
In some of these images the Hooded Mergansers have fish prey and in some they don’t but all photos document various behaviors.
Male Common Goldeneye Becoming Boxed In By An Ice Trap
I’ve documented a relatively insignificant but interesting and even amusing event in the life of a bird and I even managed to get a shot that I often attempt but rarely get with this species.
Two Hooded Mergansers, A Fish And A Possible Behavioral Mystery
An Unusual Cormorant Fishing Technique
It isn’t known if this is a novel technique unique to only a few individuals or it’s more widespread among cormorants but just hadn’t been seen or recorded before. Either way, I think it’s fascinating.
Belted Kingfisher Beating Up On A Fish
They say that a little motion blur can be a good thing because of the action it implies. I’m far from convinced that’s true but opinions may (or may not) vary.
Male Sage Grouse Strutting On The Lek
I don’t believe I’ve ever been colder while photographing birds than I was with these grouse on their lek
Male American Kestrel With A Big Fat Vole
In fact it’s one of the largest voles I’ve seen (don’t worry, there’s nothing graphic here).
Sage Thrasher Throwing Up Multiple Fruit Pits
This series of photos may be just a little too timely for anyone who partied too hearty last night on New Year’s Eve… 🙂
Western Meadowlark Taking Off With Prey
An Avocet Sandwich
A Merry Christmas To All Of My Feathered Photography Friends
I don’t have many Christmassy photos but this one certainly has the feel of the season.
Great Horned Owl Chicks Sure Do Like To Wander
At least those youngsters on the Montana family farm like to wander but they’re always raised in the dark and confined interiors of old granaries. I’ve often wondered if GHO chicks raised in trees do the same thing at this tender age but I have little experience with that situation.
