A Potpourri Of Recent Birds And Critters
It’s been a while since I published a potpourri post so I figured it was about time. Each of the following 8 images was taken over the last 8 days in places like Bear River MBR, Antelope Island, Farmington Bay WMA or other favorite haunts of mine in northern Utah.
Burrowing Owl Giving Me A Dubious Look
This is the same look I’d get from my mother when she caught me in the cookie jar as a little kid. I still remember that look.
Barn Swallow On Emergent Wild Rose
This recent Barn Swallow photo just might be my personal favorite of the species I’ve ever taken. It took me a while to come to that conclusion but the more I study it the more I like it.
Diving Kingfisher – A Work In Progress
Kingfishers diving from their fishing perches are among the most difficult photos I’ve attempted to get.
A Serendipitous Cooper’s Hawk Yesterday In The Wasatch Mountains
Plus a shocking recent example of cheating in a prestigious nature photography contest.
Western Meadowlark – How Do They Do That?
Meadowlarks often perform a pretty neat little trick while they’re landing on sagebrush.
Mourning Doves Nesting 6 Feet From My Computer Desk
Loggerhead Shrikes – Courtship Feeding Plus Two Flight Shots
American White Pelican – A Takeoff Twice Aborted
American Avocets At Bear River MBR Yesterday Morning
Female American Kestrel With Prey
It’s been a while since a kestrel allowed me a close approach so I appreciated the close action as this female enjoyed her furry breakfast on a great perch (photos are not gory).
Red-tailed Hawk – Lookin’ Goofy
And how I responded to conflicting cues of true level when rotating this image to “apparent” level.
A Recent Short-eared Owl
Female American Kestrel In A Setting I Love
Occasionally one of my photos will grow in me the more I reflect on it and this one from yesterday morning is an example.
