A Golden Eagle And Frustration Rock
This damned rock has bamboozled me once again but this time it did it with my most desired photographic quarry. I call it “frustration rock” for very good reason.

My First Of Year Short-eared Owl (+ an unexpected advantage of shooting at long focal lengths)
The Nuts And Bolts Of Feathered Photography
Four days ago I received the following message from Muffy S. Gately, a regular follower of Feathered Photography on Facebook.
Two Young Short-eared Owl Siblings
These two young siblings were just beginning to learn about the world soon after leaving the nest.
Potpourri – A Few Recent Birds, Critters And Experiences
Four bird, one mammal and two “experience” photos – all taken within the last several weeks.
Long-billed Curlews Have Recently Returned To Northern Utah
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any curlew photos but these migratory birds recently returned to northern Utah and my first opportunity to photograph them up close this year was three days ago on Antelope Island.
Red-tailed Hawks – Makin’ Babies
Recently I semi-promised not to post any more Red-tailed Hawks for a while but when sex is involved promises are often broken. Today’s post is no exception.
Another Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff Series (six images)
Five days ago in northern Utah I had my most productive day with Red-tailed Hawks in years.
Can’t We Go Any Faster, Dad?
This is one of the most unusual and amusing bird behaviors I’ve ever photographed. And it was completely unexpected.
Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off And Coming At Me (11 image series)
It isn’t often that I’m able to keep a raptor in frame and in focus for this many shots during and after takeoff.
Seduced By A Prairie Falcon In Flight
Adult Red-tailed Hawk In A Flight Posture I Love
It’s been a while since I’ve liked one of my Red-tailed Hawk photos as much as I do this one.
Short-eared Owl In Very Low Light
I may have never photographed a Short-eared Owl in light more dim than this so I’m surprised to have ended up liking these photos very much.
My First Decent Burrowing Owl Photos This Year
I seldom photograph Burrowing Owls on Antelope Island anymore so it was fun to find this cooperative bird yesterday morning.
Western Meadowlark On A Buffalo Chip
I kind of dared myself to post this image and now I’m calling my own bluff. And of course the perch is more correctly called a bison chip than a buffalo chip but somehow that just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
