My Biggest Photo Print Order Ever

I think the end result is extraordinary.

Great Blue Heron Brushing The Phrag Tops In Flight

I’m sure this photo from yesterday morning will quickly become one of my favorite shots of a Great Blue Heron in flight. I actually managed to get a long series of them, some of which I like as well or even better than this one.

A Bird Sampler From Bear River MBR Six Days Ago

Eight photos of six species.

Female Yellow-headed Blackbird

Four blackbird posts in a row. You may wonder if I’ve gone daft but there’s a method to my madness.

Male Yellow-headed Blackbird Displaying On A Phrag Plume

Yep, another blackbird.

Do You Recognize Female Red-winged Blackbirds When You See Them?

Lots of folks don’t.

Sunrise Performance By A Male Yellow-headed Blackbird

A fun ‘first bird’ on my trip to Bear River MBR two days ago. In some ways he turned out to be my best bird.

Western Grebe Weed Ceremony

Or at least part of the ceremony. One of the potential participants was a reluctant performer.

Adult Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight

Yet another hawk looking pretty beat-up from molt, this one from two days ago.

Wild Turkey – A Spectacular Tom Strutting his Stuff

Or at least most of his stuff. A small part of him was hidden.

A Gorgeous Dark Morph Red-tailed Hawk

Plus a word to the wise if you ever have to send your camera in for repair.

Swainson’s Hawk Nestled In Sagebrush

Yesterday morning I finally found a few cooperative Swainson’s Hawks.

Female Belted Kingfisher With A Weather Loach In Her Bill

And evidence of the extreme violence she directed at the poor fish.

An Evocative Souvenir

Guess what I found yesterday.

Adult Bald Eagle In Flight Against A Dark Mountain Background

I love getting our shaded Wasatch Mountains in the background when I’m photographing Bald Eagles in flight.
