My Male Merganser Miracle Shots
I have no idea how I was able to get this bird in frame in time, much less lock focus on it.
Greater Scaup – Using Knowledge Of Behaviors To Get The Shot You’re After
I’ve been yammering for years about the advantages to bird photographers of being familiar with the behaviors of our subjects. Here’s yet another example.
Peregrine Falcon In A Snowy Setting
Faked Out Of My Shoes By A Rough-legged Hawk
You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men… and bird photographers.
Male Rough-legged Hawk At Takeoff
I’ve taken the low-road with this beautiful hawk and done some significant image manipulation in one version of the photo..
Male Common Merganser In A Natural Vignette
I’m generally not a fan of vignettes in nature photography because to me they seem unnatural and pretentious.
Rough-legged Hawk On Snow-mounded Rabbitbrush

A Golden Eagle In Flight And A Lesson In Depth Of Field
Flawed images can still be of value to the photographer – they can teach us new lessons or remind us of old ones previously learned but temporarily forgotten in the heat of the moment.
Full Frame Barn Owl In Flight
I seldom get an image of a bird in flight that doesn’t need cropping for the best possible composition.
A Landing American Kestrel
Photos of birds as they land are a challenge, especially when your subject is a quick little falcon.
