Wild Turkey Takeoff And Flight Series
The setting for this series, photographed yesterday morning in the mountains, is cluttered with branches and twigs but that’s part of the point of this post.

Yesterday Was A Turkey Vulture Kind Of Day
And I enjoyed the hell out of it. Turkey Vultures have been gone for far too long and I’ve missed having them around.
Rufous Red-tailed Hawk In Flight In Low Light
Sometimes it’s fun to attempt flight shots in these conditions just to test the limits of your gear and your skills.
Sage Thrasher In A Flight Posture I Adore
I thought I might never capture this flight posture in a songbird during my entire career as a bird photographer. For me it’s only happened a single time and it very likely won’t happen again.
Cooper’s Hawk Stretching
And some thoughts about rotating our images to level during processing when we have conflicting leveling cues.
Male Sage Grouse Fighting At Sunrise
Western Meadowlark Dilemma
Black-billed Magpie Giving Me Practice At Photographing Takeoffs
Magpies – They’ll Try To Fake You Out Every Time
Black-billed Magpies just can’t be trusted and yesterday morning this bird proved it again. Twice.
Black-billed Magpie – The Ultimate Photobomber
If you’re using a DSLR camera you aren’t photographing what you’re seeing through the viewfinder. Two days ago that phenomenon was responsible for me photographing a magpie that I had no clue I’d photographed.
Golden Eagle Sideways Takeoff And Flight Series
Three days ago I had my most exciting encounter ever with a Golden Eagle along the approach road to Bear River MBR.
It Was A Turkey Shoot Yesterday Morning…
Red-tailed Hawk Still In The Process Of Landing With Prey
The shooting conditions were difficult so I’m surprised by how well this photo turned out.
Plus some new information on the Canon ID X Mark III.
Male Short-eared Owl In Flight With A Vole In His Talons
Bald Eagles Learning To Share
This adult Bald Eagle showed unusual tolerance toward a brazen and seemingly clueless immature companion.
