Swainson’s Hawks Are Yet Another Reason To Love Sphinx Moths
The web of life is indeed intertwined – in this case with two of my favorite photographic subjects.
Galileo – The Star Of The Show
A Previously Unknown Badger Behavior
An American Badger here in Utah buried an entire cow carcass and they have it on “video” – (really time lapse photography, speeded up). It’s only a calf but it’s still hugely impressive and the behavior was previously unknown.
Western Meadowlark On A Buffalo Chip
I kind of dared myself to post this image and now I’m calling my own bluff. And of course the perch is more correctly called a bison chip than a buffalo chip but somehow that just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Ferruginous Hawks, High Country News And Memories
A recent article in High Country News brought back many fond memories of photographing Ferruginous Hawks in Montana.
Mule Deer Jumping A Fence In A Creative And Very Dangerous Way

American Kestrel Takeoff In A Near Whiteout (+ a little surprise)
Where Have All The Raptors Gone?
I know my title sounds like a Peter, Paul and Mary song but this is a serious question that I become more concerned about with each passing day.
Black-billed Magpies On A Bison Gut-pile
My title is warning enough that these photos are graphic but I believe this story must be told.
Avian Pox – A Significant But Preventable Risk For Birds At Feeders
Because we love them many of us feed birds at backyard feeders this time of year to help them get through the harsh winter.
Barbed Wire Fences – More Good Than Bad For Short-eared Owls?
Many of us despise the disastrous effects of barbed wire fences on birds and other wildlife and I share that view. But maybe it’s a more nuanced issue than some of us believe. Could it be that barbed wire fences have a more positive overall effect on some species than negative?
