The Day I’ve Been Dreading
An unfortunate change in the posting schedule of Feathered Photography.

Fighting Male Ring-necked Pheasants
Hunters Are Killing Trumpeter Swans In Utah When They Shouldn’t Be
I may not be successful but I’m going to try to keep today’s post as short as possible. I went off on a rant recently and I’d prefer not do it again. Not so soon anyway.
A Lesson In Behavior From A Great Horned Owl
Because birds are so fast, familiarity with their behaviors is a valuable tool for anticipating interesting photographable moments.
Rough-legged Hawk Inspecting His Belly
A Female Short-eared Owl Up Close In Thick Fog
Getting quality photos of a bird in thick fog is tricky but under the right conditions it can be done.
Cranberries And Corkscrews On Thanksgiving Day
Have you ever noticed that Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce cans are labeled upside down? There’s a reason for that and an alternative solution to the problem they’re trying to solve that I think is better. And more fun, especially if you have a corkscrew like mine.
Some Recent Birds
Northern Harrier Takeoff From A Tumbleweed Perch
I haven’t been able to get any new harrier photos I like for a very long time but yesterday morning this one came through for me.
Rufous Male Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off With Prey (or carrion?)
I found him again yesterday morning and this time he was already enjoying breakfast when I arrived.
Male American Kestrel Posing In Side Light
Northern Harrier – Twelve Years Ago Today
One takeoff shot and one flight shot. I think the takeoff posture I captured is pretty special, even if I did bugger it up.
Two Displaying Tom Wild Turkeys With Their Eyes On The Prize
Birds Being Birds At Farmington Bay WMA Yesterday
Immature White-crowned Sparrow Framed Naturally
I believe this shot from three days ago will become one of my favorite photos of the species.
