Male American Kestrel In Hoarfrost
I’m a big fan of hoarfrost in my bird photos, especially when the bird is as colorful and beautiful as the male American Kestrel.

Canada Goose Flying Through Thick Falling Snow
From my winters living in Montana I remember what it’s like to drive through snow like this. Flying through it in flocks of other birds must be even more harrowing, in part because of its three dimensional challenges in significantly reduced visibility.
Great Blue Heron Takeoff Series
Plus my take on Canon’s new IDX Mark III camera. Final specs were announced yesterday.
Male American Kestrel Trying To Balance In The Wind
Good light and a cooperative bird is a combination I haven’t had in a very long time but it happened yesterday at Bear River MBR.
Food For Thought, And For Raptors
An attempt to quantify the beneficial effects of raptors in rodent control. Gimme some numbers please!
Rough-legged Hawk – The (very) Big Yawn
The Next Shot In The Series After Yesterday’s Kingfisher Photo
Male Belted Kingfisher Taking Off After A Fish
I know next to nothing about Oriental art but does this photo from yesterday morning have any resemblance to traditional Japanese prints?
Male Common Goldeneye And An Illusion Of Softness
In bird photography a variety of factors can cause our birds to appear soft when they’re actually sharp or at least sharper than they appear to be.
Canada Goose Landing In A Snowstorm
A Northern Harrier In Flight And That Elusive Catch Light
Catch lights in the eyes of our subjects are important far beyond their diminutive size but they’re both fickle and elusive.
Peregrine Falcon In Hoarfrost
Preening Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk
A handsome raptor in an attractive natural setting performing an interesting behavior.
Barn Owl In Flight Against A Snowy Mountain Background
Midwinter is Barn Owl “season” in northern Utah but it can also be an extremely grim time of year for them.
A Common Raven And His Shadow At Takeoff
A common species in both name and occurrence but around here at least ravens are uncommonly difficult to photograph well.
