Cooper’s Hawk With Pigeon Prey
I always carry another camera attached to my 100-400mm lens in my pickup no matter where I go and sometimes it pays off. Doing so allowed me to get this unexpected ten image series that I think is quite interesting.
An Easy Mistake To Make When Photographing Meadowlarks
It isn’t a mistake limited to meadowlarks but I do it far more often with them than with any other species.
Ferruginous Hawks, High Country News And Memories
A recent article in High Country News brought back many fond memories of photographing Ferruginous Hawks in Montana.
White Pelican With Perfect Aim And Timing
Western Meadowlark – They Just Can’t Help But Sing
In springtime meadowlarks are at the mercy of their hormones. No matter what they’re doing they often burst into song right in the middle of it.
The Significance of Catch Lights In Bird Photography
Catch lights are highly desirable, to the point that many bird photographers simply delete any photo that doesn’t have them (a painful process, to be sure).
A Golden Eagle, A Yellow-bellied Marmot And Mating Swainson’s Hawks
Mule Deer Jumping A Fence In A Creative And Very Dangerous Way
It’s not overstating the case to say I was both shocked and amazed when I looked at these photos on my screen. What I saw was so very unexpected!
A Pelican Landing Among Friends (and yesterday’s debacle in Box Elder County)
I rarely appreciate “accidental” birds in my photos competing with the primary subject. But there are exceptions and it happened twice with this landing American White Pelican.
“Gradual Diving” Pied-billed Grebe
Saying Goodbye To Farmington And Pelicans In An Approaching Storm
Some Recent Birds
Six images, six species.
None of these photos is an award-winner but for disparate reasons each one grabs me just a little and I’ll mention why in this post. All of them were taken in the last several weeks.
Golden Eagle – This Is How You Stick A Landing!
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen such an impressive demonstration of power in flight from a bird. And then this eagle pulled off a spectacular landing.
Rough-legged Hawk In flight (and a depth of field mystery…)
Occasionally I take a photograph that seems to defy (my faulty?) logic. And when that happens I probably spend more time pondering over it than I should.
