A Common Raven And His Shadow At Takeoff
A common species in both name and occurrence but around here at least ravens are uncommonly difficult to photograph well.

Northern Harrier Flight Series
Ok, it’s past time to fully address the elephant in the room when it comes to my photography.
Northern Harrier Twisting Flight Posture
My photos in the cold yesterday morning were actually sharp! Thanks to a friend I may (or may not) have arrived at a partial solution to my problem with soft photos while shooting from my pickup in unusually cold temperatures.
A Bloody Barn Owl In Flight
I’ve photographed hundreds of Barn Owls over the years but this was something I’d never seen before and haven’t seen since.
If You Think Birds Don’t Notice The Little Things…
If you think birds don’t notice the little things you’d be wrong. This male American Kestrel is the proof in the pudding.
Adult Bald Eagle Snagging A Fish Out Of The Water
Plus my worst bad habit as a photographer (I have other bad habits but most of them don’t involve photography).
Confrontation Between Adult Bald Eagles
The Patented Twist And Dive On Prey Of The Northern Harrier
Male American Kestrels On Rabbitbrush
This first photo shows the result of a “plop” landing in the snow. The second shot isn’t much more dignified.
Coyote Fascinated By His Own Reflection
I love being a witness to moments like this in nature because they can strongly suggest conscious self-awareness in animals.
Short-eared Owl In Low Light
Many species just don’t look good in very low light but I think Short-eared Owls can be an exception, probably because their contrasting markings make them stand out so well.
A Ferruginous Hawk And A Red-tailed Hawk With Unusual Plumages
Two raptors that caught my eye recently because of their out of the ordinary plumages.
Song Sparrow Encore In Golden Light
The light was just too good and the bird too cooperative to not share more photos of this twitchy little guy.
Northern Harrier In Flight Against A Softly Layered Background
Particularly with birds in flight our backgrounds can have a major impact on our images, one way or the other.
A Song Sparrow In The Golden Light Of Dawn
Despite a relatively minor flaw this shot from yesterday morning may become a favorite songbird photo of mine.
