Clipped Or Cut Off Body Parts – In Photography And Otherwise
Amputating body parts in photography is one thing but it’s something else altogether when you do it to yourself. And your guillotine is a very sharp knife instead of a camera.
Category: Diurnal Raptors
One Pissed-off Cedar Waxwing (plus a couple of bonus creatures)
Golden Eagle Perched And In Flight
I don’t get many decent chances at Golden Eagles and there’s something in the last shot I’d like my viewers to see and appreciate.
Male Northern Harrier In Flight
Very Young Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk Learning To “Walk The Pipe”
This is one of two young siblings “walking the pipe” as it tries to develop its coordination. A year ago I posted photos of one of them doing this but all 9 of these images are new to my blog.
Nine Recent Birds, Nine Different Species
Favorite Raptor Perches
Raptors in particular are known for repeatedly using the same perch, sometimes over a period of years. And sometimes they’re used by more than one raptor species so it behooves the bird photographer to check them out regularly. If raptors like’m, I like’m – even when they’re less than photogenic.
Bald Eagle Snagging A Fish Out Of Water
To say I was excited to get this two shot series is an understatement. A later event took the shine off of one of the images for me but at the time I didn’t know what the future would bring.
Red-tailed Hawk Carrying Food To His Mate At The Nest
Ferruginous Hawk In Flight With A Mountain Background
Some Interesting Swainson’s Hawk Mating And Feeding Behaviors
A Serendipitous Cooper’s Hawk Yesterday In The Wasatch Mountains
Plus a shocking recent example of cheating in a prestigious nature photography contest.
Female American Kestrel With Prey
It’s been a while since a kestrel allowed me a close approach so I appreciated the close action as this female enjoyed her furry breakfast on a great perch (photos are not gory).
Red-tailed Hawk – Lookin’ Goofy
And how I responded to conflicting cues of true level when rotating this image to “apparent” level.
Female American Kestrel In A Setting I Love
Occasionally one of my photos will grow in me the more I reflect on it and this one from yesterday morning is an example.
