Black-chinned Hummingbirds Putting On A Show
Black-chinned aren’t as colorful as the Rufous Hummingbirds I also photographed on these wild flowers but they gave me more interesting poses and behaviors.

Snowy Egret In Flight With A Bokeh I Adore
Here’s another photo where I like the background as much as the bird and in large part that’s due to the quality of the bokeh.
Magpie Hunting Insects On The Back Of A Bison
Forster’s Tern In A Setting I Like
Blue sky backgrounds for birds in flight are ok but I grow tired of them and prefer something more interesting and challenging.
Weathering The Storm
Current events in Florida have me thinking about storms and survival for both humans and birds.
A Merlin With Meadowlark Prey
This series, which includes both before and after photos, dramatically illustrates the effects of fog on our images.
Forster’s Tern In Flight
Smoke, A Bird, A Couple of “Bugs” And Some Crazy Dudley History
A Northern Harrier In Flight, Bad Habits And Bird Photography
I’m a creature of habit and as a bird photographer that tendency sometimes doesn’t serve me well.
Fledgling And Adult Marsh Wrens (+ the ongoing Montana firestorm)
Marsh Wrens don’t often sing on territory this time of year but they’re still fun to photograph on those rare occasions when they give you a relatively clear shot.
Fledgling Red-tailed Hawk Playing Around On The Rocks
Very young raptors do a lot of crazy stuff when they’re still trying to learn the ropes.
Swainson’s Hawk Throwing A Pellet
Northern Harrier In Very Warm Light
Light doesn’t get much warmer than this (but I don’t always like warm light on birds).
Gadwall In Flight And At Speed
Forster’s Tern In Flight With A Fish (+ dealing with the vagaries of bird photography)
Operator error and lack of needed skills are probably the most common causes of screwed up action/flight shots of birds but there are other villains we have absolutely no control over.
