Some Good News For Burrowing Owls
Some very good people are helping Burrowing Owls return to British Columbia, Canada and some of my images will play a small part in that effort.

A Few Recent Birds and Field Observations
Today’s post is a mixed bag of recent birds I’ve photographed and some observations (with photos) from the field.
Long-billed Curlew On Sagebrush
Sagebrush holds a special attraction for me so I’m particularly fond of images of birds perched on it.
Surprisingly, Lesser Scaups May Be Eating Invasive Weather Loaches Too
It seems that the invasive Weather Loach is becoming a significant food source for many of the birds in northern Utah.
Magpies Finding Insects To Eat In Northern Utah In January!
In Defense Of Scavengers
Yet Another Reason Birds Need Appropriate Habitat
It’s well-known that birds need appropriate habitat to survive and thrive, particularly during the breeding season. But they need it during winter too.
Two Years Ago Today – Damn, It Was Cold!
My images can be similar to a weather diary and our recent unseasonably warm temperatures made me curious about the weather on this date in previous years so I did some image research.
Juvenile White-crowned Sparrow Already Framed
Status Report (with current photo) Of The Barn Owl That Was Entangled In Barbed Wire
Regular readers will remember my post of two weeks ago where I documented the heartbreaking story of this Barn Owl entangled in barbed wire in the Centennial Valley of Montana.
The Mystery of the “Electrified” Abandoned Pickup is Finally Solved
Several weeks ago I presented this mystery to my readers because I was at a loss to figure it out myself. None of us found a logical explanation so on my latest Montana trip I decided to investigate a little more aggressively.
A Nostalgic Look At The Male Williamson’s Sapsucker
I sure do miss this woodpecker and its mate. I photographed them for parts of two breeding seasons in Clark County, Idaho but about a month ago some idiot chopped down their nest tree (the one in these images) and I haven’t seen the birds since.
Sandhill Crane And Wildflowers In Wilderness
Photographs of wildlife in wilderness have special meaning for me. If I’m aware that an image was taken in a truly wild setting it changes the context in a positive way.
There Really Are Some Short-eared Owls Out There!
I was delighted almost to the point of giddiness to see this many Short-eared Owls concentrated in a small area.
A Collaborative Effort To Protect Nesting Birds
I’m delighted to see government agencies and conservation groups working together to protect vulnerable nesting birds.
