Some Of My Favorite Photos From The Distant Past – Volume 1
Some Recent Birds
American Kestrel – Minutia
Usually when birds are involved I’m fascinated by minutia but sometimes the ‘little things’ can drive me nuts, especially when they’re photography related..
Canada Geese – Bathing Upside Down
Canvasbacks – Is It Love Or Is It War?
Bear River Tundra Swan Soon After Takeoff
Common Mergansers – Competition Among The Disadvantaged
I told this story seven years ago but this time I’m including more details and using mostly different photos.
Some Recent Avian Potpourri
Male Common Mergansers In Flight
I don’t post a lot of ducks but mergansers of any species (there are three of them in North America) are among my favorites.
Canada Goose – “The Executioner”
Canada Goose Flying Through Thick Falling Snow
From my winters living in Montana I remember what it’s like to drive through snow like this. Flying through it in flocks of other birds must be even more harrowing, in part because of its three dimensional challenges in significantly reduced visibility.
Male Common Goldeneye And An Illusion Of Softness
In bird photography a variety of factors can cause our birds to appear soft when they’re actually sharp or at least sharper than they appear to be.
Canada Goose Landing In A Snowstorm
Redhead After The Storm
Sometimes only subtle differences separate an unremarkable photo from one that makes me take a second look and appreciate it far more. For me this one did just that.
