Clark’s Grebes Feeding Their Very Excited Chicks
I spend a great deal of time with Western and Clark’s Grebes as they raise their families at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight Over A Hillside
This is the male of the nesting pair of Red-tailed Hawks I’ve been photographing recently.
The Kingfisher Is Back!
And this time there’s two of them, though I don’t yet know if either one is my old friend. This one isn’t, for sure.
My Kind Of Raptor Country
Birds aren’t the only itch of mine to be scratched by my addiction to bird photography.

This male Short-eared Owl was a super-efficient hunter and provider for his family.
Swainson’s Hawks Are Yet Another Reason To Love Sphinx Moths
The web of life is indeed intertwined – in this case with two of my favorite photographic subjects.
American Robin – A New Behavior For Me
I should have known long ago that robins did this. That’s what happens when you too often ignore a species just because it’s “common”.
