A Bald Eagle From My Archives (and some thoughts on baiting)
Opportunities for the public to view Bald Eagles up close in northern Utah have evolved over the years.
A Grebe And A Coot Battle Repeatedly Over A Fish
These two birds fought over the fish for over three minutes.

A Grebe And A Coot – What’s Going On Here?
Sometimes in the heat of the moment I get a shot that’s just a little bit different. Maybe even a whole lot different…
A Sora Actually Out In The Open
A PB Grebe Behavior Explosion On The Farmington 4-Way Pond
These grebes are typically pretty lethargic this time of year but on this morning things went a little nuts for a few minutes.
A Red-tailed Hawk And A Vole – Before And After The Meal
Don’t worry, there’s nothing gory in this short “before and after the meal” series. And I’ve also included a bit of a raptor biology lesson.
Male American Kestrel (and a meadowlark with a death wish)
After all the time I’ve spent in the field watching and photographing birds and their behaviors I still occasionally see something that surprises me.
Peregrine Falcon On A Duck Kill
A Playful Juvenile Western Grebe
Many bird species are known to play and I photographed a juvenile Western Grebe doing just that three days ago at Farmington Bay WMA.

I Thought This Grebe Might Break Its Neck During This Stretch
Western Grebes Posing Up A Storm
This time of year our Western Grebes are pretty laid back. The tensions of breeding season are over…
Red-tailed Hawk With Nesting Material, In Late October!
Raptors carrying nesting material in late fall is something I rarely see or photograph.
Several Birds Of Two Species Battling Over A Fish
This fish must have been an epicurean delight because there sure were a lot of birds fighting over it for a long time.
