Wild Turkey Takeoff And Flight Series
The setting for this series, photographed yesterday morning in the mountains, is cluttered with branches and twigs but that’s part of the point of this post.
Rushing Western Grebes And Murphy’s Law
As hard and as often as I’ve tried over the years I’ve only been able to photograph grebes while they’re rushing, and do it well, two or three times.
Well, That Sure Didn’t Last Long
I thought I might have a welcome and entertaining avian distraction during the Covid-19 lockdown. Not gonna happen.
Great Horned Owls And A Tradition Of Old Granaries On The Farm
Dudleys have been building granaries on the Montana farm for at least 90 years. Without the oldest ones owls wouldn’t exist on the farm.
Nesting Eurasian Collared Doves
A diversion from my lockdown miseries almost within arm’s reach from my computer desk.
Female Williamson’s Sapsucker With A Load Of Angry Ants For Her Chicks
It gives me The Willies to think that most of these ants are still alive because I know from experience that they have a nasty bite..
Burrowing Owl – Nonchalance In The Presence Of Danger
Burrowing Owls are like humans. When they’re teenagers they think they’re invincible.
One Of The Reasons For Landowner Animosity Toward Recreationalists
Sorry folks, no birds today. An experience in the mountains yesterday morning is causing me to go off on a tangent.
Western Grebes With Chicks
I decided to post baby grebe hitchhikers this morning in the hope they will have a positive effect on my current funk. I suspect some of my readers could use a similar attitude adjustment.
Yesterday Was A Turkey Vulture Kind Of Day
And I enjoyed the hell out of it. Turkey Vultures have been gone for far too long and I’ve missed having them around.
Lark Sparrow Struggling With Cumbersome Nesting Material
Rufous Red-tailed Hawk In Flight In Low Light
Sometimes it’s fun to attempt flight shots in these conditions just to test the limits of your gear and your skills.
My Second Chance At The Smoke Morph Wild Turkey
Sidelit And Unusually Tame Northern Harrier
Without question this is the “tamest” Northern Harrier I’ve ever photographed and I’ve had thousands of them in my viewfinder over the years.
