Yellow Warblers And A Green-tailed Towhee

For me photographing Yellow Warblers is usually an exercise in frustration.

Birds Were In A Nesting Frenzy In The Uinta Mountains Yesterday

Plus a surprise visit from a mouse that turned out to be a moose.

Gray Catbird And A Green-tailed Towhee

A trip into the Wasatch Mountains yesterday morning provided me some photos of species I don’t often get.

Peekaboo Willet

Soon the Willets on Antelope Island will mostly leave the island proper (if they haven’t already) and move down to the shoreline of the lake where they’re less accessible so for the last several weeks I’ve been striking while the iron is hot and photographing them at every opportunity.

Great Horned Owls On The Montana Farm 10 Years Ago Today

Ahhh, sweet memories. But melancholy ones too.

Burrowing Owl Wearing A Shocking Shade of Lipstick

It isn’t really lipstick of course but that’s exactly what I think of when I look at my photos of this little owl.

One More Reason To Photograph Owls With The Sun Low In The Sky

In the past I’ve discussed the many reasons why I prefer to photograph birds of any species in the few hours after sunrise so I won’t repeat myself here. But yesterday morning I was reminded of yet another reason that applies specifically to owls.

A Meadowlark And A Bump In The Road

I don’t have a lot of “oomph” in me right now so the bird portion of this post will be brief. I don’t like to inject too much personal stuff into my blog but when it begins to affect Feathered Photography I feel like I should come clean.

Lark Sparrows returned to Antelope Island some time ago but until two days ago I haven’t been able to get any “clean” shots of them. I can partially blame the growth habits of sagebrush for that.
