A Tribute To A Departed Eagle
Bald Eagle Eating A Fish On The Fly
Because this adult Bald Eagle was under duress it was eating the carp in flight.
An Extremely “Tame” Rough-legged Hawk
The occasional wild raptor is unusually approachable but I’ve rarely had that happen with a Rough-legged Hawk.
Male American Kestrel – An Image Where (Almost) Everything Came Together
Most often on this blog I share my photographic successes but occasionally I can’t resist ranting over one of my near-misses.
Juvenile Peregrine Falcon (plus a look at the falcon “nostril cone”)
I’ve seen a fair number of Peregrine and Prairie Falcons on Antelope Island this winter but this is the only one that hasn’t proven elusive.
A Series Of 5 Images Of A Bald Eagle On Landing Approach

In Defense Of Scavengers
Bald Eagle – A Dramatic Illustration Of The Effects Of Warm Light
American Kestrel Potpourri
Several readers have said recently that they’d like to see occasional images from my archives. These American Kestrel photos are my attempt to deliver on that request.
A Clumsy Bald Eagle With (and then without) Prey

My Christmas Morning Bird Tradition (and an update on Shannon)
The Events And The Birds That Hooked Me On Bird Photography
A Bald Eagle From My Archives (and some thoughts on baiting)
Opportunities for the public to view Bald Eagles up close in northern Utah have evolved over the years.
A Pheasant, A Bald Eagle And Nictitating Membranes
