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.
Black-chinned Hummingbird – It’s Often The “Little Things” That Make An Image
Gray Catbird And Willow Flycatcher
It’s unusual for me to even see these two species much less get decent photos of them.
A Twitchy Marsh Wren Making A Completely Vertical Takeoff
Forster’s Tern – Moment Of Impact (almost)
This is the closest I’ve come (so far) to catching the moment of impact of a tern diving for fish and it’s pretty darned close.
Two Perspectives On Snowy Egrets In Flight
Three Image Sequence Of A Forster’s Tern Just After Emerging With A Fish
Any photography skills I may have were definitely tested yesterday morning as I attempted to photograph terns coming out of the water with fish.
A Red-naped Sapsucker Jumping Straight Up
Weight saving strategies of birds for flight also serve them well whenever they feel the need to simply jump. And most can jump very well.
