Canada Goose Running On Water (including differing perspectives)
When I’m able to capture photos like these I realize that I don’t aim my lens at Canada Geese as often as I should.
Rough-legged Hawk Leaving And Returning From A Hunting Trip
Some of my posts are heavy on words and light on photos. This one is just the opposite.
A Kingfisher And A Jerk
I encounter a lot of very nice people through my bird photography but I meet my share of stinkers too.
If You Want To Photograph Raptors In Flight Learn To Anticipate Their Takeoff
One of the skills that can be of immense value to the bird photographer (and of interest to birders of every persuasion) is the ability to predict when they might take off.
Spotlight Effect On A Prairie Falcon
Golden Eagle In Flight – A Three Image Series (+1)
Any day I see eight Golden Eagles is a good day for me so yesterday was a very good day..
A Turkey Disguised As A Rough-legged Hawk (a photographic enigma)
I almost didn’t have a turkey to post for Thanksgiving but this Rough-legged Hawk saved the day.
Fighting Northern Harriers (plus a rant about baiting raptors)
There’s more negative fallout caused by baiting raptors than many are aware of and some of it affects our fellow photographers who don’t bait and never have. I’ve been stewing about this for a while now so I finally had to get it off my chest.
Western Grebes – A Family Affair
For a variety of reasons this might have been my most rewarding session ever with a family of Western Grebes and I actually had five of them to play with.
Chukar Calling In Warm Light
There’s many things I like about this shot and only one I don’t. A ratio that good doesn’t happen often enough with this bird photographer.
Short-eared Owl – A Matter Of Breaking Another “Rule”
Plus another example proving beyond doubt that Utah state government has lost its collective mind!
Five Image Series Of A Rousing Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Yellow-rumped Warbler (and the pervasiveness of fake nature photography)
As I mentioned yesterday I’ve been reexamining some of my expectations of my own photography but some things will never change and this is one of them.
Perhaps The Darkest Short-eared Owl I’ve Ever Photographed
And temporarily (at least) discarding one of my own “rules” about what I like and don’t like in my photographs.
