Migrating Yellow-rumped Warblers
Among warblers this species migrates late but they’re here in good numbers now. I photographed these birds two days ago in Davis County, Utah.
Northern Flicker – A Very Long Way To Climb For Such A Small Meal
It was a round trip journey so it must have consumed more energy than she obtained from the snack.
Female American Kestrel In A Flirtatious Pose
I had a hard time deciding which modifying adjective to use in my title – flirtatious, demure, coy or alluring. With this pretty lady in this pose they all work for me.
Bald Eagle Photos That Couldn’t Be Much Different From Each Other
A Persistent And Acrobatic Townsend’s Solitaire In Pursuit Of A Meal
Ruby-crowned Kinglet Actually Out In The Open
Cooper’s Hawk Takeoff and Flight Series
For me flight shots of Cooper’s Hawks are literally unheard of but yesterday morning I got four of them, plus photos of it taking off.
Snowy Egret Potpourri
Adult White-crowned Sparrow Feasting On Rabbitbrush Seeds
I probably don’t give sparrows their due on my blog so it’s time to make amends. This species is among my favorites, especially the adults.
Do Cooper’s Hawks Have Nostril Baffles Similar To Those Of Falcons?
If so I got my first good look at those marvels of biological engineering three days ago.
Bald Eagle Landing Series
Why does the trailing edge of the wings of some sub-adult Bald Eagles in flight have an irregular appearance rather than the “straight-cut” look of most other eagles?
Cooper’s Hawk – An Unusually “Tame” Juvenile In The Mountains
I’m on a roll. Sixteen minutes after I left the tamest Belted Kingfisher I’ve ever photographed (photos I posted yesterday) I found the tamest Cooper’s Hawk I’ve ever seen or photographed. Around here both species are notoriously difficult to approach, especially in a wild setting.
An Unusually Cooperative Belted Kingfisher
I’ve bitched and moaned for years about how difficult kingfishers are to get close to but yesterday morning this amazingly cooperative female made me feel guilty about badmouthing them for it.
Snowy Egret Stalking And Striking At A… I Don’t Know What It Is!
I always enjoy mysteries in my photos like this one, especially when they involve bird behaviors. And sometimes my readers even solve them for me.
