Weather Loach – An Extreme Story Of Survival
Many birds and other vertebrates have innovative strategies for survival and the weather loach is certainly one of them.
A Porcupine Story
Three Cooper’s Hawks With Prey
Several comments on yesterday’s post about the value of wildlife in urban landscapes were the inspiration for today’s post.
Rough-legged Hawk With Jackrabbit Prey
Even though this may not be a “pretty” shot it’s photos like this that stir my soul because all of its elements are natural and the prey gives us a glimpse of the rawness of nature (and apologies for the premature email for this post last night).
Woodpeckers In (and coming out of) Nesting Cavities
Different woodpecker species often compete for the same nesting cavity and “ownership” can change from year to year.
Short-eared Owl – A Matter Of Breaking Another “Rule”
Plus another example proving beyond doubt that Utah state government has lost its collective mind!
Coyote Taking A Stroll Along The Beach
And speculation about the reason for an apparent recent decline in the Antelope Island coyote population.
A Snot And Spit-drinking Cowbird
For any who may be disturbed by the crassness of my title you have my permission to substitute mucus and saliva for the offending two words…
Very Late Breeding Western Grebes
Western Grebes are known to have an extended breeding season but this is getting ridiculous.
Magpie Hunting Insects On The Back Of A Bison
Smoke, A Bird, A Couple of “Bugs” And Some Crazy Dudley History
A Hugely Coincidental Encounter With A Juvenile Short-eared Owl
Red-naped Sapsuckers At The Nest Cavity
This is one of those situations that tempts unscrupulous photographers into unethical behaviors.
My Kind Of Raptor Country
Birds aren’t the only itch of mine to be scratched by my addiction to bird photography.
