Marsh Wrens In The Fall
I usually photograph Marsh Wrens in spring and early summer but I’ve had some luck with them this past week at Farmington.
Juvenile Harlan’s Red-tailed Hawk Yesterday At Farmington
I seldom see Harlan’s Red-tailed Hawks and rarely photograph them so yesterday’s encounter was a memorable experience for me.
Northern Harriers – Why It’s Wise To Be Wary While You’re Eating
The winter of 2008 was cold and brutal in northern Utah which put a lot of stress on birds. More than once I noticed ducks frozen into the ice at dawn.
Rio Grande Wild Turkeys On The Promontory Peninsula
Yesterday Wild Turkeys saved the day for me along Promontory Road. There sure wasn’t much else out and about to photograph.
A Peregrine Falcon And A Salute To Bob Walters
This is a good time of year to be on the lookout for Peregrine Falcons on Antelope Island, especially along the causeway.
Male American Kestrel At Takeoff And In Flight
Because of their small size and quickness kestrels are the most challenging raptor I attempt to photograph at takeoff.
Belted Kingfisher – Some Poses And A Takeoff Series
I had some luck with another Belted Kingfisher yesterday morning and this time it was a male.
Red-tailed Hawk – Making Lemonade Out Of A Big Fat Lemon
American Bittern Doing A Little Posing
An American Bittern out in the open is an extremely rare occurrence for me (and for most everyone else I suspect).
Coyote – The Shot That Might Have Been (and almost was…)
A Red-tailed Hawk At Takeoff And My Growing Appreciation For “Old Stuff”
Some element-rich images like this one draw me in because there’s so much there to entertain me.
A Ferruginous Hawk And Visual Tension
Prepare yourself because I’m probably going to overanalyze this first image. I can feel it coming…
Barn Owl – Landing And In Flight
I believe this first image may be only time I’ve ever managed a decent shot of an owl of any species during the landing process.
My First Of Year Rough-legged Hawk (+ mergansers galore)
I probably look forward to the return of the Rough-legged Hawk more than I do any other migrating bird.
