Golden Eagle – Flirting With My Nemesis Again
I wasn’t expecting to get close to a Golden Eagle while pulling a camping trailer behind my pickup but that’s exactly what happened early yesterday morning as I was leaving Wayne County on my way home.
Red-tailed Hawk – Do My Photos Sometimes Misrepresent Reality?
A Harrier Teasing Me In The Wind
Prairie Falcon In Flight With A Duck In Its Talons
I was just leaving Antelope Island when I encountered this young Prairie Falcon feeding on what I believe is a Shoveler near the marina.
Mating Golden Eagles
Recently I headed for higher ground to get out of our inversion. I was rewarded with sunshine, clean air and a pair of mating Golden Eagles.
A Startled American Kestrel
Bald Eagle – A Welcome And Unusual Visitor To My Yard
Northern Harrier Takeoff In A Snowy Setting (+ some processing tips)
How The Kindness Of A Stranger Kept Me From Giving Up Photography
Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk Landing Practice
Landing on relatively small elevated perches must be one of the more difficult skills young raptors must learn.
American Kestrel – The Big Stretch
Within about 10 seconds this male kestrel gave me just about every conceivable stretching pose in the book.
Harrier Takeoff Series (for the photographer it’s all about choices)
One of the biggest challenges of photographing birds at takeoff is avoiding clipped wings. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don’t.
Female American Kestrel Feeding On A Vole
This pretty little female kestrel enjoyed a vole breakfast yesterday morning along the causeway to Antelope Island. I’ll spare you most of the gory details but raptor feeding behavior is one of the many behaviors that I find interesting.
A Barn Owl And A Red-tailed Hawk In Blue Creek Valley
A recent trip to northern Box Elder County produced some interesting raptors and uniquely challenging shooting conditions.
