The Highs And Lows Of My Morning On Antelope Island
Yesterday morning there were extremes of both including a case of mentoring gone bad.

Black-necked Stilt (+ an interesting leveling/rotation technique)
Sometimes we have to be creative to come up with leveling cues when an image needs rotation.
Why The Killdeer Doesn’t Perch
I remember when I finally realized that I’d never seen a Killdeer perched and eventually figured out why.
Montana Killdeer Chick
Spiders, Deer And Phalaropes On Antelope Island
Mountain Plovers On Antelope Island
Wilson’s Snipes In The Snow
A Black-necked Stilt And The Quirkiness Of Reflections
We often think of reflections of birds in water as being exact upside down copies of the birds themselves but that’s just not the case, even when the water is as smooth as glass. “Mirror images” aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
A Black-necked Stilt And A Little Weirdness
These aren’t serious images, in fact I’d probably categorize them as novelty photos. But I still find them visually interesting and somehow they seem appropriate for Saturday morning.
Long-billed Curlew Performing Rhynchokinesis
The Elusive Wilson’s Snipe
The preferred habitat of the Wilson’s Snipe often isn’t pretty but they’re elusive enough that I’ll photograph them anywhere I get the chance.
American Avocet With A Death Grip On A Rival
No deaths or injuries actually occurred but for a few moments it sure looked like they might.
Black-necked Stilt Flight Series (8 images)
I have so few quality images of stilts in flight I could count them on the legs of my tripod. But now I’d need an octopod just to count the nice flight images I captured yesterday of this single bird.
My Trip Of Tiny Birds – Least Sandpiper
During my Montana camping trip last week I was able to photograph two of the tiniest birds of their types in the world.
Wilson’s Phalarope Chick (and a frustrating equipment malfunction)
Like most days in the field yesterday had its ups and downs. I was excited to photograph a phalarope chick but a glitch with my primary camera really threw me for a loop.
