Young Burrowing Owl Coming In For A Practice Landing
Yellow Warbler Eating An Aphid
Three Red-tailed Hawk Chicks Posing Perfectly In The Nest
‘Posing perfectly’ and raptor chicks almost never go together but this time was an exception.
My First Hummingbird Photos Of The Season
Some Recent Birds And Things
A cross section of some of the subjects I’ll aim my lens at while I’m in the field. With varying degrees of success.
Lark Sparrow Gathering Nesting Material
West Desert Rock Wren
In eleven years of blogging about birds I’ve only posted photos of a Rock Wren a single time and for very good reason – in their typically rugged habitat they simply refuse to allow a close approach. But two days ago I got one of the aggravating little rascals in my viewfinder.
Back-To-Back Takeoffs – American Goldfinch
Male Belted Kingfisher Diving On A Fish And Then Eating His Catch
And believe it or not, this time he brought the fish close to me before gobbling it down instead of carrying it far away like he’s done repeatedly in the past.
Rockin’ And Rollin’ With A Wet Female Red-winged Blackbird
Great Blue Heron Avoiding An Obstacle During And After Takeoff
Yes, I know. I’m posting the same species in back-to-back posts again. But this is a different heron, at a different place at the refuge and both the circumstances and the setting are very different from my previous post.
My Most Successful Great Blue Heron Flight Series
“Most successful” because I got more sharp shots than I’ve ever managed to get in a single flight series in the past and because several of them are among my favorite photos of the species, in flight or not.
My Biggest Photo Print Order Ever
Sunrise Performance By A Male Yellow-headed Blackbird
A fun ‘first bird’ on my trip to Bear River MBR two days ago. In some ways he turned out to be my best bird.
