Some Recent Common And (mostly) Interesting Birds
Nine days ago I spent some time photographing some of our most abundant (for those readers who don’t like the word “common” applied to birds) songbirds at my favorite greasewood bush.
A Short Flight Series Of A Molting Barn Owl
A Squadron Of White-faced Ibises Flying Low Over The Great Salt Lake
Groups of birds in flight are hard to photograph well but I like the way this one turned out.
An Entire (large) Family Of Western Grebes
This is one of the very few times I’ve ever been able to get three Western Grebe chicks and both of their parents in the same photo and get them all sharp. The whole fam damily.
Incoming Tundra Swan – Duck!
It’s time to start looking for migrating Tundra Swans in northern Utah. But other swans need to keep an eye out for them too, for their own safety.
Starting Tomorrow Feathered Photography Will Be Taking An Unwanted Break
Three Barn Owls In Flight (actually four)
And a demonstration of why it’s so aggravatingly difficult to get light in the eyes (catch lights) of Barn Owls.
Loggerhead Shrike Attempting (Learning?) To Impale A Grasshopper
I’m not sure if this shrike was learning the impaling process or practicing it. If it was for practice he needed it.
Marsh Wren Doing What Marsh Wrens Do, Incessantly
Yesterday’s Virginia Rail
Virginia Rails are so secretive this is only the fourth time I’ve posted images of them to my blog in 11 years if blogging. And one of those four times was a rerun.
Barn Owl Being Chased By His Shadow
But a different composition of the same photo drastically changes the viewer’s perception.
Coyote Lying Down And Then Resting On The Shore At Sunrise
Even mundane moments like this one can be pretty special when a wild animal allows us such an intimate look into their world.
Great Horned Owl In The Marsh
Loggerhead Shrike Impaling Prey, Then Pulling A Chunk Off
