Barn Owl Hunting In Daylight
Normally Barn Owls are a strictly nocturnal species so photographs of them in flight are difficult to come by. After all, photography does require light.

Snowy Egrets In Flight (and a Long-eared Owl at Bear River)
I don’t post Snowy Egrets very often. Maybe that’s because they’re such a difficult subject to expose properly.
Northern Pygmy Owl With A Vole For Breakfast
Adult Red-tailed Hawk In Flight And A Plug For Rehab Organizations
Chances of photographic success with this hawk when it took off were low but I aimed my lens in its direction anyway.
A Resurgence Of Short-eared Owls In The West?
In my experience Short-eared Owls have been few and far between in several western states for the entire nine years I’ve been photographing birds. Not so this year!
Montana Short-eared Owl In Flight
I’m finding a fair number of Short-eared Owls on this trip to Montana and like our birds in Utah they like to perch on and take off from fence posts. But this male actually took off from the ground.
Eureka! – A Northern Pygmy Owl With Rodent Prey
A lifer of any species will make my week but a Northern Pygmy Owl with prey literally gave me buck fever I was so excited.
Short-eared Owl On An Interesting Wooden Fence Post (and some thoughts on natural perches)
A War Of Wills With A Short-eared Owl And I Won
I have a stubborn streak that occasionally gets me into trouble but every once in a while it pays off.
Barn Owls In Flight – A Huge Motivator For Learning Good Technique
If anything will give a bird photographer motivation to learn the techniques of photographing birds in flight it’s Barn Owls flying during daytime.
Red-naped Sapsucker Removing Wood Chips And Fecal Sac From Nest Cavity (+ a barbed wire owl update)
Sapsuckers perform some interesting behaviors during nesting season and the pair I photographed three days ago in the Uinta Mountains was no exception.
Young Short-eared Owl Learning To Hunt From Perches
Short-eared Owls often hunt from perches instead of on the wing and it’s a technique that must be learned.
Short-eared Owl – An Image Can Be Cropped Deceptively
Creative cropping of an image can sometimes have more negative effects than positive ones.
Short-eared Owl Siblings Parallaxing (and an update on the owl hung up on barbed wire)
Normally it’s my practice to avoid posting the same species two days in a row. But in celebration of the (unexpected) good news about the juvenile Short-eared Owl we rescued from barbed wire two days ago I decided to make an exception. After all, I think we all prefer our owls happy and acting normally rather than hanging from barbed wire and in despair.
Fledgling Short-eared Owl Wing Stretch
I continue to make the occasional rookie mistake when photographing birds in the field but this time I still like the results.
