My First Ever Say’s Phoebe Takeoff And Flight Shots
Yesterday morning we found a family of at least four Say’s Phoebes in the Wasatch Mountains. The adults were feeding their hungry fledglings.
A Burrowing Owl And Second Chances
Sometimes a bad habit can give us a second chance and allow us to avoid making a mistake.
A Few Minutes In The Lives Of 2 Sibling Red-tailed Hawk Fledglings
Fourteen minutes condensed into eight photos to be precise. These are behavioral images and none of them are great shots but I think most of us here on Feathered Photography appreciate interesting behaviors at least as much as we do “pretty bird photos”.
Western Grebe Trying To Kill And Swallow A Channel Catfish
Not a good idea! Swallowing a channel catfish whole is almost like swallowing a pincushion with the sharp ends of the pins sticking out.
Lark Sparrow With Prey (Plus A ‘Red’)
A few of the birds on Antelope Island are still in the late stages of nesting, including this Lark Sparrow and a female Bullock’s Oriole I saw at a distance feeding a recent fledgling.
The Novel ‘Revenge’ Of The American Goldfinch
Folks who dislike Brown Cowbirds for their habit of nest parasitism will likely appreciate this unique “revenge” of the American Goldfinch. We’ll get into that soon but first some goldfinch photos I took yesterday morning.
Some Very Good News On The Red-tailed Hawk Nesting Front
One Pissed-off Cedar Waxwing (plus a couple of bonus creatures)
Western Grebe With Chick Hitchhikers Being ‘Cute’
Pied-billed Grebe – Dive! Dive!
Pardon my submarine reference in the title but I’m betting many of my readers are old enough to remember those old WWII movies.
I seldom see Pied-billed Grebes use this unique diving method but it always amuses me when I do. I’ve reported on this behavior before but those were different photos and this is a different grebe.
Very Young Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk Learning To “Walk The Pipe”
This is one of two young siblings “walking the pipe” as it tries to develop its coordination. A year ago I posted photos of one of them doing this but all 9 of these images are new to my blog.
Gray Catbird And Black Twinberry Honeysuckle
Yellow Warblers – Adults And Fledglings From Yesterday Morning
