American Kestrel Potpourri
Several readers have said recently that they’d like to see occasional images from my archives. These American Kestrel photos are my attempt to deliver on that request.
A Clumsy Bald Eagle With (and then without) Prey
The occasional Bald Eagle lurks near the west end of the Antelope Island causeway for good reason – lots of potential prey. The open water near the bridge attracts a variety of waterfowl so falcons and eagles are sometimes seen in the area.
Bear River Barn Owl, Perched And In Flight
When it’s this cold and snowy Barn Owls are flying during daytime over much of northern Utah. They’re often not easy to find but when you do locate one they can be fairly cooperative.

Barn Owl At Farmington Yesterday (including video)
I’ve been wondering when I’d photograph my first Barn Owl of the winter. Yesterday was it.

A Bald Eagle From My Archives (and some thoughts on baiting)
Opportunities for the public to view Bald Eagles up close in northern Utah have evolved over the years.
Redhead
In my view the only ducks that I see regularly that approach the elegance of male Pintails and Canvasbacks are the handsome Redheads.
A Pheasant, A Bald Eagle And Nictitating Membranes
You can’t tell me that birds don’t become “stickier” (more reluctant to fly and easier to approach) when it’s very cold.
Burrowing Owl – Deja vu All Over Again
With apologies to Yogi Berra for the liberties I took with my title I decided to post an image I’ve posted before, long ago. Here’s why.
