Like all bird photographers, as I approach my subject I’m often too close to the bird by the time I can see it clearly through vegetation or by the time I have good light on it. That’s when my two-lens shooting strategy pays off in spades.
On a recent post I said that I seldom stop to photograph buteos on utility poles but yesterday morning I made an exception for a young Ferruginous Hawk. A dramatic, spinning takeoff made me glad I did. (5 images)
I took one of them and the other one I didn’t. One’s a bird and the other one isn’t.
Yes, plain old water can be gorgeous – especially when it’s reflecting beautiful colors in whirly-swirly patterns and soft textures.

No, not Reflections in a Golden Eye. Neither Marlon Brando nor Elizabeth Taylor will be making an appearance and there will be no murder. (6 photos)
A post inspired by a comment from a viewer made on yesterday’s edition of Feathered Photography.
Yesterday morning I had more problems with differential heat waves? at Bear River MBR. If this keeps up I’m thinking about taking up knitting instead of bird photography. After all, the world needs another Rosey Grier. (6 photos)
