A Potpourri Of Recent Birds And Critters
It’s been a while since I published a potpourri post so I figured it was about time. Each of the following 8 images was taken over the last 8 days in places like Bear River MBR, Antelope Island, Farmington Bay WMA or other favorite haunts of mine in northern Utah.
American White Pelican – A Takeoff Twice Aborted
American Avocets At Bear River MBR Yesterday Morning
Western Grebes – The Whole Fam Damily
On only one occasion have I been able to include an entire family of 5 or more Western Grebes in the same tight photos.
Male Marsh Wren Building One Of His Dummy Nests
Two days ago I spent an hour and 45 minutes photographing a male Marsh Wren building one of his “dummy” nests at Bear River MBR.
Ferruginous Hawk Yesterday Near Bear River MBR
Plus my first-of-year Swainson’s Hawk. These two hawks brought me two different kinds of excitement.
Western Grebe Running On Water Using A Technique I’d Never Seen
Barn Swallow Feeding A Fledgling On The Wing
Photographing swallows in flight is one of the more difficult tasks I attempt as a bird photographer.
Tundra Swan In Flight Against A Background I Really Like
Tundra Swan In Flight
Most winters around here Tundra Swans have been completely unapproachable but this year has been different.
Tundra Swan In Flight And Mating Golden Eagles
Two Tundra Swans Taking Off And In Flight
A “Swananza” At Bear River MBA Yesterday
Yup, a bonanza of swans! And many were finally in areas where they could be seen up close.
Two (mostly) White Birds In Flight
Two keepers of two different species in flight within seconds of each other is a rarity for me.
