Now that much of the preliminary work for this project has been done HawkWatch International needs eyes. Lots of eyes.

A Lesser Scaup and More Coot Chases From Yesterday
A Meadowlark Puffball In The Snow
A Winter Bittern And A New Observation Tower At Bear River MBR
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.
My Most Thrilling Prairie Falcon Encounter (and continuing story) Ever
It was an incredible experience for me to actually learn the life history of a Prairie Falcon I’d photographed in the wilds of southwest Montana.,
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.
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.
