Great Horned Owl Framed By Old Wood
A Singing, Posing Meadowlark
An Easy Mistake To Make When Photographing Meadowlarks
It isn’t a mistake limited to meadowlarks but I do it far more often with them than with any other species.
The Significance of Catch Lights In Bird Photography
Catch lights are highly desirable, to the point that many bird photographers simply delete any photo that doesn’t have them (a painful process, to be sure).
A Golden Eagle, A Yellow-bellied Marmot And Mating Swainson’s Hawks
Rough-legged Hawk In flight (and a depth of field mystery…)
Occasionally I take a photograph that seems to defy (my faulty?) logic. And when that happens I probably spend more time pondering over it than I should.
My Lens Is Back From Canon – My Experience With Canon Professional Services
Most readers know that recently I had to send my 500mm lens into Canon for repair. I truly feel lost without it and my separation anxiety has been pretty intense but the FedEx man brought me the cure yesterday afternoon at 1:15.
A Peregrine Falcon To Try My Patience
Persistence and dogged tenacity are often prerequisites of bird photography but even then there’s no guarantee of success.
Double-crested Cormorant Wing Flap
There’s twelve images here but this post is really about my experience using Canon’s “new” EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens in combination with a 1.4 extender (teleconverter).
A Hiccup For Feathered Photography
Bumps in the road come with the territory when you’re a bird photographer and blogger but that doesn’t make this pothole any easier to take.
Swainson’s Hawk With A Vole
Rough-legged Hawk On A Rabbit Kill
I carry a second camera and lens combo with me whenever I’m in the field. Yesterday it paid off handsomely.
Rough-legged Hawk – Perched vs. Takeoff
It isn’t often that I prefer shots of a perched raptor over images of it taking off.
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight With Prey
This cooperative adult Red-tailed Hawk with prey was a huge challenge under difficult conditions yesterday morning.
