A Burrowing Owl Amongst The Flowers
I’m an old softie when it comes to owls and wildflowers – especially in combination.
Category: Behaviors
“Rushing” Western Grebes
The ritualized displays and courtship ceremonies of Western Grebes are among the most complex known in the bird world.
Sub-adult Golden Eagles Playing King Of The Hill
While photographing birds you’d better be ready for anything because you just never know what they’re going to do.
Red-tailed Hawk With A “Slice” To Be Proud Of
Red-tailed Hawk Pair At The Nest
A Strange Common Nighthawk Behavior
Burrowing Owl – A Romp Through The Flowers
This owl played hopscotch through a sea of flowers in a howling wind on Antelope Island yesterday morning.
American Avocets At Bear River MBR Yesterday
By this time of year many American Avocets have already paired up and some of them are beginning early nesting activities.
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight (2 versions of the same image)
I believe this is the male of a nesting pair of Red-tailed Hawks I photographed yesterday in northern Utah.
A Burrowing Owl With Grit
Western Meadowlark Territorial Display
I finally know the purpose behind this Western Meadowlark behavior. Typically I observe it several times each breeding season but until yesterday I never fully understood its significance.
Two Young Short-eared Owl Siblings
These two young siblings were just beginning to learn about the world soon after leaving the nest.
Potpourri – A Few Recent Birds, Critters And Experiences
Four bird, one mammal and two “experience” photos – all taken within the last several weeks.
A Previously Unknown Badger Behavior
An American Badger here in Utah buried an entire cow carcass and they have it on “video” – (really time lapse photography, speeded up). It’s only a calf but it’s still hugely impressive and the behavior was previously unknown.
Red-tailed Hawks – Makin’ Babies
Recently I semi-promised not to post any more Red-tailed Hawks for a while but when sex is involved promises are often broken. Today’s post is no exception.
