Hummingbird Takeoff Series Illustrating The Fickleness of Gorget Colors
Prairie Falcon In Flight With Prey
This photo is on the short list of my favorite shots of all time, partly because of its high degree of difficulty but certainly not limited to that. But the version I’ve posted in the past needed some tweaking.
Yellow Warbler Up Close
Plus a tip of the hat to my unusually knowledgeable and helpful blog readers from one of my Facebook followers.
Broad-tailed Hummingbird Wing And Tail Stretch
This photo is a perfect example of why I typically fire off quick bursts of many shots of my subjects rather than just one or two.
House Wren With A Damselfy?
Gray Catbird Playing Relentless Cat And Mouse Games With Me
This darn bird was having fun at my expense for most of my morning in the mountains yesterday.
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight Against A Vertical Cliff Background
Newly Fledged Yellow Warbler
Mated Pair Of Western Tanagers With Bad News About The Female
Sometimes I find things that are disturbing when I finally get around to looking more closely at some of my photos. Thankfully it doesn’t happen very often but that doesn’t make it any easier when it occurs.
Just Part Of The Price Of Being A Turkey Vulture
Red-tailed Hawk Rousing And Then Taking Off
Yesterday morning I spent some quality time with the rufous female Red-tailed Hawk I’ve posted images of in the past. The two of us are becoming old friends.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey Being Chased By Another Owl
A double dose of serendipity with the two related events being separated from each other by eight years. To the day.
Fluffed Up Cedar Waxwing
Broad-tailed Hummingbird Taking Off In Pursuit Of A Rival
This was another instance where I didn’t know what I’d photographed until I reviewed my images at home. That happens often with hummingbirds because they’re so incredibly fast.
