Male Northern Harrier Looking Back At Me While Banking
A flight posture I rarely get with a raptor in flight, especially when the raptor is a ‘Gray Ghost’.

Some Recent Birds
American Goldfinch – ‘Common’ Species Deserve More Respect
Rough-legged Hawk – Still A Work In Progress
American Pipit – After The Bath
I try to avoid assigning emotions to birds (not always successfully) but I swear this was one joyful little pipit.
Female Merlin – No Way To Treat A Newcomer
Within a span of just a few minutes three of our resident birds, including two raptors, gave this recently arrived female Merlin a very hard time so I figured she deserved a more welcoming greeting from another Utah resident. That would be me in today’s post.
Northern Harrier Takeoff And Flight Series
I got this harrier series two days ago on the same morning I photographed the American Kestrel vs. Merlin fight. I also photographed two other kestrels and a Red-tailed Hawk that morning so it was a good day for raptor photography.
Multiple Attacks – Kestrel And Magpie vs. Merlin
I don’t have many two falcon days but yesterday was one of them. Throw in all the aggressive action and I couldn’t ask for much more.
Battling Red-tailed Hawks – Part II
Battling Red-tailed Hawks – Part I
The Beginning Of An Epic 13 Minute Red-tailed Hawk Battle
Yesterday morning I was at the right place at the right time when all hell broke loose.
Dark Morph Red-tailed Hawk
I almost never stop my pickup for hawks on utility poles but yesterday morning I stopped for this one thinking it might be a Harlan’s Red-tailed Hawk.
Loggerhead Shrike In Flight
I’m hoping my favorite photo of a Loggerhead Shrike in flight will provide readers with a brief respite from the stresses of the election.
Canvasbacks – Is It Love Or Is It War?
Male Northern Harrier Hunting Low And Slow
The light colors of the ‘Gray Ghost’ are a huge advantage to the photographer with flight shots in low light.
