Gray Catbird – Pixel Peeping For Biological And Photographic Purposes
Many photographers look down their noses at pixel peeping but I find it useful in at least two situations.
Belted Kingfisher Diving On A Fish
Hummingbird Takeoff Shots – A Progress Report
Some goals just aren’t worth pursuing and hummingbird takeoff shots may be one of them.
Yellow Warbler With Insect Prey
Yesterday morning in the Wasatch Mountains I triumphed over strong winds, impending dense clouds and an unnecessary road construction nightmare caused by UDOT and actually got a few (very few) keeper photos.
‘Pale Male’ Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off
Yellow Warbler – A Snack And Then A Vertical Takeoff
Yesterday morning I spent some time in the mountains looking mostly for songbirds. The focus limiter on my lens and I had a couple of disagreements which I inevitably lost so I botched several of my most promising photo ops but I thought this encounter with a Yellow Warbler turned out to be a fun and interesting one.
A Morning In The Life Of A Bird Photographer
I just never know what I’ll find, or find out, during a morning of attempted bird photography. Yesterday provided ample evidence of that.
A Hummingbird First For Me
Yesterday morning I learned something about hummingbirds. Maybe I’ll start trying to get hummingbird takeoff shots again. It’s been a while.
Short-eared Owl Fledgling And Light Quality
Black-chinned Hummingbird – Sharpness Matters, Especially When Cropping
Song Sparrow Downward Takeoff
Red-tailed Hawk Flying Along A Cliff Edge
Turkey Vultures – One Landing, One Reacting
I’m gonna call these two vultures from yesterday morning Frick and Frack. They were hanging around together like they were joined at the… furcula.
Wild Turkey Takeoff And Flight Series
