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
The occasional Bald Eagle lurks near the west end of the Antelope Island causeway for good reason – lots of potential prey. The open water near the bridge attracts a variety of waterfowl so falcons and eagles are sometimes seen in the area.
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
You can’t tell me that birds don’t become “stickier” (more reluctant to fly and easier to approach) when it’s very cold.
A Few Red-tailed Hawk Images I Like
Two Years Ago Today – Damn, It Was Cold!
My images can be similar to a weather diary and our recent unseasonably warm temperatures made me curious about the weather on this date in previous years so I did some image research.
A Red-tailed Hawk And A Vole – Before And After The Meal
Don’t worry, there’s nothing gory in this short “before and after the meal” series. And I’ve also included a bit of a raptor biology lesson.
A Gray Ghost And The Convoluted Path To The Choice Of A Blog Post Subject
This is how my blog post subjects sometimes originate – out of the deep blue sky and from a completely unexpected source.
Northern Harrier Hunting Goose Egg Island
Northern Harriers often hunt the perimeter of Goose Egg Island (really only a hill and no longer an island) at Farmington Bay MBA, particularly its northern side along the creek.
Male American Kestrel – A Champion Poser
This male American Kestrel was such an enthusiastic poser that he performed for me for over six minutes.
Golden Eagle – A Magnificent Bird But Still A Nemesis
Golden Eagles are my #1 photographic quarry. I’d rather get a magnificent flight shot of one of these regal birds than any other species I can think of and that includes other raptors like Snowy Owls and Gyrfalcons.
