Mockingbird Flight Display Photographed In Its Entirety…
…without skipping a beat. This was the first time I’ve been able to accomplish that long-time goal.

Dripping-wet Uinta Ground Squirrel Eating And Then Drying Himself Off
Yesterday morning I wanted a change in venue so I headed for the Wasatch Mountains east of Salt Lake City. This cute little Uinta Ground Squirrel entertained me for about 15 minutes with its behaviors and antics.
Red-tailed Hawk Carrying Food To His Mate At The Nest
Barn Swallows Gathering Mud For Their Nests
Yesterday it was Cliff Swallows. To continue the swallow theme, today it’s Barn Swallows playing in the mud.
A Strategy For Photographing Cliff Swallows In Flight
Most bird photographers who try to photograph swallows in flight give up in frustration and I tried for several years before doing exactly that. They’re just too darned fast and erratic in the air.
Some Interesting Swainson’s Hawk Mating And Feeding Behaviors
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey
Short-eared Owls have been unusually difficult for me to come by this year so yesterday morning I was happy to catch this presumed male in flight with prey (a vole).
Antelope Island Lark Sparrows (plus a devastating house fire behind my home)
Yesterday on Antelope Island I got my first Lark Sparrow photos of the year but I paid the “no-see-um” price.
Western Meadowlark – How Do They Do That?
Meadowlarks often perform a pretty neat little trick while they’re landing on sagebrush.
Mourning Doves Nesting 6 Feet From My Computer Desk
Loggerhead Shrikes – Courtship Feeding Plus Two Flight Shots
American Avocets At Bear River MBR Yesterday Morning
Female American Kestrel With Prey
It’s been a while since a kestrel allowed me a close approach so I appreciated the close action as this female enjoyed her furry breakfast on a great perch (photos are not gory).
Female American Kestrel In A Setting I Love
Occasionally one of my photos will grow in me the more I reflect on it and this one from yesterday morning is an example.
Female Red-tailed Hawk Kiting With Nesting Material
Typically with Red-tailed Hawks both sexes contribute to nest-building and in this case it was the female’s turn to carry a stick to the nest. However, this time it was a two-stage delivery.
