Juvenile Short-eared Owl – Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
I believe two of these images from yesterday may be among my personal best shots ever of a juvenile of this species taking off and in flight.
Clipped Or Cut Off Body Parts – In Photography And Otherwise
Amputating body parts in photography is one thing but it’s something else altogether when you do it to yourself. And your guillotine is a very sharp knife instead of a camera.
Camera Burst Rates: How Fast Is ‘Fast Enough’ For Birds?
If you’re not interested in this subject as a photographer I would think many bird lovers would be interested in it as a demonstration of how incredibly fast little birds are.
One Pissed-off Cedar Waxwing (plus a couple of bonus creatures)
Yellow Warblers From Yesterday Morning In The Mountains
How many photos of Yellow Warblers on the ground do we see? In my experience very, very few. Instead they nearly always seem to be in trees.
A Celebratory Lark Sparrow
Some folks might wonder why I would celebrate a Lark Sparrow but for me this classy looking (for a sparrow at least) songbird was a bit of a milestone.
Golden Eagle Perched And In Flight
I don’t get many decent chances at Golden Eagles and there’s something in the last shot I’d like my viewers to see and appreciate.
Western Grebe With Chick Hitchhikers Being ‘Cute’
Male Northern Harrier In Flight
Pied-billed Grebe – Dive! Dive!
Pardon my submarine reference in the title but I’m betting many of my readers are old enough to remember those old WWII movies.
I seldom see Pied-billed Grebes use this unique diving method but it always amuses me when I do. I’ve reported on this behavior before but those were different photos and this is a different grebe.
Long-tailed Weasel ‘In Disguise’
Very Young Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk Learning To “Walk The Pipe”
This is one of two young siblings “walking the pipe” as it tries to develop its coordination. A year ago I posted photos of one of them doing this but all 9 of these images are new to my blog.
Gray Catbird And Black Twinberry Honeysuckle
Downy Woodpecker (perhaps two of them)
