A Painful Bump In The Road
Sorry folks, there won’t be any photos posted on Feathered Photography today. But I do have a pretty good excuse.
Eight Of My Favorite Rough-legged Hawk Photos
This is the time of year I start to get antsy about the return of the Rough-legged Hawks.
White-crowned Sparrow – Why Don’t Sparrows Get More Respect?
When it comes to appreciation from humans this species already has two strikes against it when it steps up to the plate. It’s a sparrow and it’s “common”.
A Bull Moose I Worked Long And Hard To Get
In nature photography sometimes hard work and perseverance pay off and sometimes they don’t. This time my results were mixed.
“Ornithology: Foundation, Analysis And Application” – A Mini Review
There’s a fantastic and brand new resource out there for serious students of birds from John Hopkins University Press and it contains three of my bird photographs so I hope you’ll allow me a little horn tootin’ today. Let’s have a closer look at this massive new book.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet Beginning A Rouse
A Sage Thrasher Fakes Out The Photographer
I pride myself on my ability to predict bird behaviors but as they say, pride goeth before a fall.
Male Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey In His Talons
Last night while looking for something else I found a pleasant surprise in my archives.
Sage Thrasher Regurgitating A Sumac Pit
A Northern Mockingbird And Wild Rose Hips
Yesterday I had one of those mornings that bird photographers usually only dream about.
Wilson’s Warbler Snagging A Flying Insect Out Of The Air
I thought this bird pulled off a pretty nifty trick but it happened so fast I didn’t even know it had occurred until I arrived home and looked at my photos.
Chipping Sparrow Takeoff Series
Even though this bird from yesterday morning is what some folks would call “only a sparrow” two of the photos in this short series are already among my favorite takeoff or flight shots of any songbird species, ever.
Male American Kestrel In A Setting I Adore
Dusky Flycatcher Killing and Eating A Yellowjacket
In my book any critter that beats the snot out of a yellowjacket deserves more than faint praise.
