Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Western Grebe – Me And My Shadow
An older photo I’d forgotten even existed. Plus a report on our current drought and the disappearing Great Salt Lake.
Yellow Warbler Ascending
A short trip for a young warbler. A meaningless journey to us perhaps but apparently it was significant for the bird.
Gray Catbirds With Spiders On The Menu
Male Yellow Warbler – Fluffed Up, Singing and… Happy?
Ground Hunting Short-eared Owl
A Red-tailed Hawk Connecting The Dots To My Family History
Male Cassin’s Finch In A Conifer
The ‘True’ Eyelids Of A Swainson’s Hawk
Since the eyelids of birds aren’t used in blinking we don’t get to see them very often.
Long-billed Curlew Courtship Display – Bill-stroking
An intimate curlew behavior I’ve only seen once and I was lucky enough to document it with photos.
Male Belted Kingfisher Reacting To A Swallow Attack
His reactions seemed a little overdramatic if you ask me. After all, kingfishers are 9 times larger (heavier) than Cliff Swallows.
A Few Recent Birds And An Outlier
Male Lazuli Bunting Leaning Into Takeoff
A shooting angle that provides an unusually good look at the brilliant turquoise blues of the male Lazuli Bunting in breeding plumage.
