Another American Kestrel Being A Picky Eater
Kestrels are highly efficient and skillful at “de-hiding” their small mammal prey (and no, I don’t think this image is gory).

Spotted Towhee In A Weird Takeoff Posture
Or perhaps it was a threat posture. Or a combination of both. Either way I thought it was a little bizarre.
Wild Turkey In Flight
Short-eared Owl – A Matter Of Breaking Another “Rule”
Plus another example proving beyond doubt that Utah state government has lost its collective mind!
Antelope Island Potpourri From Yesterday Morning
Including an American Goldfinch, a Red-winged Blackbird and a Prairie Falcon in flight.
Loggerhead Shrikes With Prey
Five Image Series Of A Rousing Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Yellow-rumped Warbler (and the pervasiveness of fake nature photography)
As I mentioned yesterday I’ve been reexamining some of my expectations of my own photography but some things will never change and this is one of them.
Perhaps The Darkest Short-eared Owl I’ve Ever Photographed
And temporarily (at least) discarding one of my own “rules” about what I like and don’t like in my photographs.
A Snot And Spit-drinking Cowbird
For any who may be disturbed by the crassness of my title you have my permission to substitute mucus and saliva for the offending two words…
Male American Kestrel Eating A Grasshopper
Red-winged Blackbird Trying To Get At Those Pesky Sunflower Seeds
The seeds were still on the wild plants and they weren’t easy to reach which resulted in some fun photos.
Belted Kingfisher Takeoff And Flight Series
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
This species is the only truly migratory gnatcatcher so I expected ours to be gone by now but yesterday morning they were still around in good numbers.
Male American Kestrel – Serendipity Happens!
Sometimes good things come to those who wait. And if you’re lucky it might even be a handsome little falcon.
