Update On ‘Eagle Power’ And The Decorah Eaglets
Two days ago I posted a mini-review of the new NOVA documentary on PBS entitled “Eagle Power”. A reader has provided additional and relevant information on the black fly incident that was very nearly lethal to the Decorah eaglets that played a pivotal role in the documentary.
Short-eared Owl On A Natural (and photogenic) Perch
For me a completely natural photo of a Short-eared Owl on an elevated perch is unusual, bordering on rare.
‘Eagle Power’
Hummingbird Takeoff Shots – A Progress Report
Some goals just aren’t worth pursuing and hummingbird takeoff shots may be one of them.
Gray Catbird In A Goofy Posture – Just For Fun
Yellow Warbler With Insect Prey
Yesterday morning in the Wasatch Mountains I triumphed over strong winds, impending dense clouds and an unnecessary road construction nightmare caused by UDOT and actually got a few (very few) keeper photos.
Recently Fledged Red-tailed Hawk Learning His Limits
A Short-eared Owl, A Vole And The Coup De Grâce
Green-tailed Towhee In Typical Cluttered Habitat
‘Pale Male’ Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off
Male Mountain Bluebird And Progress With His Natural Nest Cavity
I have something in common with this hard working bluebird and his mate – home improvements.
Marsh Wren Singing His Little Heart Out
The exuberance of the singing Marsh Wren may be unmatched in North American marshes.
Yellow Warbler – A Snack And Then A Vertical Takeoff
Yesterday morning I spent some time in the mountains looking mostly for songbirds. The focus limiter on my lens and I had a couple of disagreements which I inevitably lost so I botched several of my most promising photo ops but I thought this encounter with a Yellow Warbler turned out to be a fun and interesting one.
What Happened To The Chukars On Antelope Island?
For several years I’ve wanted to know what caused the Chukar population on Antelope Island to crash. Recently State Park Assistant Manager Wendy Wilson provided some answers.
