I actually got nine additional photos of this bird in flight but I thought these fourteen were the best ones. They’re all presented in the order they were taken with no skips.
Occasionally a single element in a photo will grab me in a way that I’m willing to overlook something else that would normally put me off a little.
As I occasionally do I went archive-diving last night and ran across a series of Snowy Egret photos I like that I’ve never posted on Feathered Photography. Some of my inexperience in those days may show in the images but I still enjoy them and of course the reminiscing.
It’s been a while since I published a potpourri post so I figured it was about time. Each of the following 8 images was taken over the last 8 days in places like Bear River MBR, Antelope Island, Farmington Bay WMA or other favorite haunts of mine in northern Utah.
Two keepers of two different species in flight within seconds of each other is a rarity for me.
A highly unusual winter bird and a new incarnation of a long-lost landmark made yesterday a good day at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
A duck, a hawk and a heron.
Typical of potpourri there’s not much of a unifying theme here except each of my subjects has feathers in common and all five images illustrate something of interest (for me at least).
Some fishermen have all the “right stuff” but for others there’s just something missing.
This is a six image series of a Snowy Egret in flight as it loses elevation in order to land.
Here’s another photo where I like the background as much as the bird and in large part that’s due to the quality of the bokeh.
This selection of seven photos is a fairly representative cross-section of the bird species I’ve been seeing recently.
