Preening Yellow Warbler
A Pine Siskin, ‘Wild’ Thistle Seeds And That Amazing Beak
Preparing wild thistle seeds for consumption is more complicated and delicate than one might think.
This Is What An Unlucky Morning Photographing Kingfishers Looks Like
The potential was there but except for some interesting behavior near the end I might as well have stayed home.
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.
