Some Random Recent Birds And Critters
A potpourri of sorts on this Saturday morning. Each of the following photos was taken in the last couple of weeks and all but one were taken in the Wasatch Mountains.
Category: Favorite Locations
Juvenile Black-necked Stilt
Black-necked Stilt Wing Stretch From An Unusual Perspective
American Avocet Chick At Bear River MBR
American White Pelican Takeoff
American White Pelicans are a species I should train my lens on more often. While they’re sitting on the water they often don’t make a very interesting subject but getting that huge 16 lb. body airborne is a real struggle so photos of them taking off have much more interest for many of us.
American Avocet Takeoff Series
Getting three takeoff shots in a series like this is pretty unusual for me, especially since I didn’t clip any body parts. Yesterday was mostly a good day at Bear River MBR but I saw some very disturbing conditions while I was there.
A Western Grebe, A Chick And A Feather
Grebes eat feathers. Lots of feathers. In fact grebes are the only birds known to regularly and deliberately eat their own feathers.
Prairie Falcon In Flight With Prey
This photo is on the short list of my favorite shots of all time, partly because of its high degree of difficulty but certainly not limited to that. But the version I’ve posted in the past needed some tweaking.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey Being Chased By Another Owl
A double dose of serendipity with the two related events being separated from each other by eight years. To the day.
A Scary Encounter With A Very Young Pronghorn
The Wilds Of Montana And Idaho, Here I Come!
A Black-crowned Night Heron And A Long-tailed Weasel
Yesterday was a pretty good day at Bear River MBR but any day I photograph a weasel is a good one.
Bathing Cinnamon Teal x Green-winged Teal Hybrid
Short-eared Owl With Prey In Flight
