Magpies Building Nests Already And Ice-fishing Herons
I photographed two interesting bird behaviors yesterday morning on Antelope Island and at Farmington Bay WMA.
In Defense Of Scavengers
Black-billed Magpie – An Image That May Have Taught Me Something
A Couple Of Magpie Take-offs
Magpie With A Praying Mantis Egg Case (and an ingenious food strategy)
Juvenile Black-billed Magpie Launching From Rabbitbrush
Dark Morph Red-tailed Hawk And An Annoying Magpie
I spent eleven interesting minutes with this striking red-tail as it hunted, fed and interacted with a persistent magpie.
Landing Black-billed Magpie (and a look at active focus points)
Magpie – Anticipating Take-off Direction And Getting Lucky
Typically this is a shot I would have missed because I’d have anticipated the wrong direction for take-off.
Iridescent Magpie In Flight (and an “early bird” of another species)
Before we get to the main event of this post I must report that a pleasant surprise awaited me on Antelope Island yesterday morning.
Magpie Ballet With A Stick
Ballet and sticks may not typically go together but that combination still comes to mind whenever I see this image.
Magpie Colors And Photographic Goals
I find it helpful to set photographic goals even though some of them may never be attained and only frustration results.

Photographing a bird as it lands is much more difficult than when it is taking off.
