A “Swananza” At Bear River MBA Yesterday
Yup, a bonanza of swans! And many were finally in areas where they could be seen up close.
Category: Waterfowl
Common Goldeneye Wing Flap
A few Common Goldeneyes including adult males, adult females and 1st winter birds of both sexes have been wintering near my home
Geese: Canada And Snow
Getting photos I like at my local pond isn’t easy – not because of a lack of birds but because there’s often too many.
Avian Potpourri – Three Species, Five Images
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).
Male Common Goldeneye In Flight And Flaring To Land
Goldeneyes in flight are a work in progress for me but I think I’m making some headway.
The Little Things That Can Make Or Break Our Images
Bird photography is largely a game of chance, particularly in action shots or when our subjects are in flight.
Canvasback Eating A Fish
A behavior I’d never heard of, seen or photographed until last week. I believe this to be a story of adaptability and survival.
A Trio Of Common Mergansers In Flight
A Mallard And My Attempt At The Nearly Impossible
Maybe this “impossible dream” can actually be achieved. If any of my readers have ever succeeded with this type of shot I’d enjoy hearing about it.
Canada Goose Running On Water (including differing perspectives)
When I’m able to capture photos like these I realize that I don’t aim my lens at Canada Geese as often as I should.
Gadwall In Flight And At Speed
A Pintail Takeoff (and a valuable lesson learned)
Some Recent Birds
Six images, six species.
None of these photos is an award-winner but for disparate reasons each one grabs me just a little and I’ll mention why in this post. All of them were taken in the last several weeks.
A Mixed Bag Of Recent Birds
Occasionally I review my recent images and look for photos that I may have missed that hold some interest for me. This is a collection of eight of those images, taken over the past several weeks.
Common Goldeneye – A Duck That Earned Its Genus Name In Spades!
I literally have such a big head that they had to special-order a cap large enough to fit me when I graduated from high school (true story). But I have nothing on the male Common Goldeneye.
