One-footed Merganser – Giving Up On An Old Friend
The older I get the more I root for the underdog and this merganser has been near the top of my underdog list for three years now.

Pied-billed Grebe Beating Up On A Fish
Rough-legged Hawk (and a bit of a minor mystery)
When I see something in my images that I can’t explain it piques my interest. Even when it’s something relatively minor.
One Giant Step For A Chukar
In the past I’ve referred to Chukars as “rock hoppers”. This image gives some indication as to why.
Peregrine Falcon On Prey And In Flight
I don’t often have opportunities with Peregrine Falcons in flight but this bird changed my fortunes for the better.
Great Horned Owls In Tamarisk
Tamarisk may be invasive but it can make a nice setting for a Great Horned Owl. Or Two.
Magpie Colors And Photographic Goals
I find it helpful to set photographic goals even though some of them may never be attained and only frustration results.
Mountain Plovers In Utah
Mountain Plovers are uncommon throughout their range and rare in Utah but I’ve had my moment in the sun with them and it was an experience I’ll never forget.
Harrier In Flight – Consecutive Shots In A Burst
These images combined the old and the new – my “ancient” 100-400mm zoom lens and the new 7D Mark II camera.
Pellet Casting, Stretching Swainson’s Hawk
Several summers ago this juvenile Swainson’s Hawk in southwest Montana allowed me to photograph it performing some interesting behaviors.
The Fate Of The Ferruginous Hawk And The Sage Grouse Are Oddly Intertwined
Managing species in distress can be a complex and potentially contradictory endeavor.
Whitewash
As a bird photographer my attitude toward excrement-stained perches has evolved, especially when it involves raptors.
Another (very different) Look At The Injured Coyote
Two days ago I reported on a seriously injured coyote on Antelope Island and said I’d keep you updated if I encountered the animal again. Yesterday morning I did just that.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey (and the perception of baiting)
Coyote Aggression And Serious Coyote Injury
Yesterday morning there was ample evidence of serious social tension among the Antelope Island coyotes.
