Western Grebes “Chick Dumping”
This is one of the more interesting bird behaviors I’ve photographed and it’s always entertaining to watch.

Male Northern Harrier Giving Me The Evil Eye
Preening American Kestrel
Bald Eagle Eating Lunch On The Wing
One of the reasons I like this image is because the eagle’s white head and the light fish are highlighted so well against the dark wing.
Angry Northern Harrier Coming In For A Fight
Fighting harriers are both exciting and challenging to photograph – especially for neophyte bird photographers.
Grooming Loggerhead Shrike
Clark’s Grebes Feeding Their Very Excited Chicks
I spend a great deal of time with Western and Clark’s Grebes as they raise their families at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
A Peregrine Falcon Enjoying Duck For Breakfast (and a faux pas on my part)
I found this Peregrine Falcon on a duck kill along the causeway to Antelope Island.
A Singing Meadowlark Who Then Does A Weird Sideways Takeoff
For me it doesn’t get much better than a meadowlark singing on fresh, green sagebrush in the spring. But in this case it was the takeoff that really attracted my attention.
Sage Thrashers Hunting Bugs On Antelope Island (and the misery of biting gnats)
The island is teeming with bugs right now and nesting Sage Thrashers are taking advantage of the situation.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey And At The Nest
This male Short-eared Owl was a super-efficient hunter and provider for his family.
White Pelican In Flight Against A Mottled Sky
I often think of American White Pelicans as flying boats. They’re huge and ungainly looking on land but in flight they’re ever so graceful.
A Burrowing Owl Amongst The Flowers
I’m an old softie when it comes to owls and wildflowers – especially in combination.
“Rushing” Western Grebes
The ritualized displays and courtship ceremonies of Western Grebes are among the most complex known in the bird world.
Yellow-headed Blackbird (and getting good detail in deep blacks)
This image grabs me for reasons that only other bird photographers might appreciate.
