Sunflowers – Goldfinch Gold This Time Of Year
Critters use sunflowers for a variety of reasons. They don’t have to be in bloom to be useful to birds and wildlife but when they are they sure brighten up some of my photos. When they aren’t they allow me to photograph feeding behavior like I did yesterday.
Golden Eagle, Golden Light And Flight
Black-billed Magpie With An Apparent Small Color Anomaly
Yesterday I Got Angry At The Presence Of A Cat
Let me be clear. I wasn’t angry at the cat. Instead I was angry at the people responsible for it being where it was. I still am.
When Hawks Pursue Songbirds It Can Be Deadly For Them Both
A couple of recent emails from a former student truly made my day, despite the sad photos included in one of them.
American Kestrel Struggling To Feed On A Large Vole
Just holding onto your lunch isn’t always easy when you’re 20′ in the air and the prey is relatively large.
White-crowned Sparrow And Fall Colors Of Wild Rose
Finding birds has been tough lately and yesterday was about as discouraging as it gets.
Great Horned Owl Fledgling, Old Wood And Rusty Metal In Warm Light
This image is dripping with nostalgia for me so I hope you’ll allow me to fill in a little of the backstory.
Male Brewer’s Blackbird In Flight
My first time photographing a male of this species in flight. I had to cheat a little to get it the way I want it but I finally got the photo.
Long-tailed Weasel Yesterday At Farmington
Bear River Tundra Swan About To Land On Water
Fourteen Image Series Of A Great Blue Heron Taking Off And In Flight
I actually got nine additional photos of this bird in flight but I thought these fourteen were the best ones. They’re all presented in the order they were taken with no skips.
Red-tailed Hawk In A Menacing Flight Posture
Northern Mockingbirds Are Still Here In Northern Utah
I’m surprised they haven’t migrated south by now but I’ve seen several of them the last few days in the mountains and on the valley floors
