Three Iconic Birds Of Antelope Island
If you visit Antelope Island to photograph birds this time of year your memory card will likely include more images of these three species than any other.

A Quirky Meadowlark Behavior (I have a working hypothesis to explain it)
During one stretching session this bird performed a maneuver that I had never seen before – from any species.
“Just” A Horned Lark
It’s difficult to get some folks excited about Horned Larks but when things go right I’m not one of them.
Bathing Meadowlark – It Pays To Learn To Anticipate Behavior
Predicting the behavior of this Western Meadowlark allowed me to get a boat-load of very interesting action shots.
A Meadowlark Takeoff And Those Demonic Biting Gnats On Antelope Island
Bird photography is difficult enough without the added aggravation of hordes of biting insects.
Horned Lark – A Common Bird On An Uncommon Perch
Horned Larks are ground dwelling birds that rarely perch more than a few inches off the ground.
Long-billed Curlew Eating A Horned Lark Egg
Yesterday morning this curlew gave me a lesson on what “opportunistic foraging” really means.
A Few Recent Birds and Field Observations
Today’s post is a mixed bag of recent birds I’ve photographed and some observations (with photos) from the field.
Some Birds From Yesterday
Meadowlark Takeoff And Another Rookie Mistake
I Like To Practice Action Shots On Horned Larks
Action shots of small birds are difficult to pull off well, partly because they’re so incredibly fast
Chasing My Shadow
This is only a novelty shot but it fits my situation.
An Impressive Meadowlark Transformation
I often see birds puff up but the “inflating ” performance of this Western Meadowlark was over the top.
A Western Meadowlark Performing In The Snow
As a Montana farm boy I have a special affinity for meadowlarks in the snow – not because we had them there during winter but because we didn’t.
A Variety Of Birds In The Snow
After being “grounded” by the recent huge snowstorm for a couple of days I was finally able to go out shooting yesterday morning.
