A Use Of One Of My Images That Warms The Heart Of This Old Teacher
On March 20 of this year I received a request from Kylee Wiseman to use one of my American Kestrel images as a reference for a painting.
Category: Birds
Fledgling Short Eared Owl Siblings
For most folks very young owls have oodles of appeal and for me fledgling Short-eared Owls are at the top of the list.
Kingbird Riding The Back Of A Red-tailed Hawk In Flight With Prey
These are poor quality shots but they include two interesting behaviors from two different species so I thought they were worth a look-see.
Green-tailed Towhee – Another One Came In Close!
Minimalist Loggerhead Shrike
This image may not generate much excitement but I suspect nature photographers might understand why it caught my attention.
Common Nighthawks – Why Do They Keep Their Eyes Closed When They’re perched?
Western Grebes “Chick Dumping”
This is one of the more interesting bird behaviors I’ve photographed and it’s always entertaining to watch.
Yellow Warbler
Ferruginous Hawk Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
This largest of the North American buteos put on quite a show for me as it lifted off in beautiful light with dark mountains in the background.
Male Northern Harrier Giving Me The Evil Eye
“Swainson’s Hawk Rock” Earns Its Name Once Again
Ferruginous Hawk In Flight With A Mountain Background
This might be the most handsome Ferruginous Hawk I’ve ever had in my viewfinder. Usually I have to go to Montana to have much of a chance with this species but yesterday morning I photographed this one in Tooele County, Utah.
Preening American Kestrel
Green-tailed Towhee – My “Spark” Bird
I haven’t been this excited about photographing a bird in a very long time (more about why that’s true at the end of this post if you have the stamina to get through it…).
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight Series
I believe this to be the male of the Red-tailed Hawk pair I’ve been following since early spring.
