Male And Female California Quail
I seldom photograph California Quail because I’m generally not fond of the urban settings I usually find them in. Yesterday was different.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet – A Sideways Takeoff
Golden Eagle Takeoff And Flight Series
If my bird photography success rate was as low as the accuracy rate of weather forecasters I think I’d sell my camera gear and hang it up…
Ruby-crowned Kinglets Galore
I’ve never before seen anywhere near so many Ruby-crowned Kinglets in the same area at the same time.
Forster’s Tern Feeding A Juvenile On A Morbid Perch
Yellow-rumped Warblers – What A Difference The Setting Can Make!
I think I was becoming lulled into accepting and even presuming the same old boring settings for Yellow-rumped Warblers.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets – Dynamos Of The Bird World
Yellow-rumped Warbler – Vertical Takeoff After A “Bug”
It’s the third photo in this series that I like so much – mostly because anything like it has been so damned hard to get with these little speedsters.
Male American Kestrel Working Over A Tail Feather
Snowy Egret In Flight With A Bokeh I Adore
Here’s another photo where I like the background as much as the bird and in large part that’s due to the quality of the bokeh.
A Northern Harrier In Flight, Bad Habits And Bird Photography
I’m a creature of habit and as a bird photographer that tendency sometimes doesn’t serve me well.
Fledgling And Adult Marsh Wrens (+ the ongoing Montana firestorm)
Marsh Wrens don’t often sing on territory this time of year but they’re still fun to photograph on those rare occasions when they give you a relatively clear shot.
Northern Harrier In Very Warm Light
Light doesn’t get much warmer than this (but I don’t always like warm light on birds).
Forster’s Tern In Flight With A Fish (+ dealing with the vagaries of bird photography)
Operator error and lack of needed skills are probably the most common causes of screwed up action/flight shots of birds but there are other villains we have absolutely no control over.
