Black-billed Magpies At Their Nest
There’s no middle ground with magpies – most folks seem to either love them or loathe them.
Chukars Are Doing Their Spring Thing Again
For about half of the year most Chukars on Antelope Island are shy and inaccessible in more remote areas of the island but when spring rolls around they come out to play.
Western Grebes – Old And New
Two days ago I visited Bear River MBR on the first full day it was open after being closed because of flooding. It was an interesting preview of things to come.
Another Meadowlark Series (but for me this one’s special)
This may be the most humorous series I’ve ever photographed but then my mother always did say I had a warped sense of humor.
A Singing, Posing Meadowlark
An Easy Mistake To Make When Photographing Meadowlarks
It isn’t a mistake limited to meadowlarks but I do it far more often with them than with any other species.
Ferruginous Hawks, High Country News And Memories
A recent article in High Country News brought back many fond memories of photographing Ferruginous Hawks in Montana.
White Pelican With Perfect Aim And Timing
Western Meadowlark – They Just Can’t Help But Sing
In springtime meadowlarks are at the mercy of their hormones. No matter what they’re doing they often burst into song right in the middle of it.
A Pelican Landing Among Friends (and yesterday’s debacle in Box Elder County)
I rarely appreciate “accidental” birds in my photos competing with the primary subject. But there are exceptions and it happened twice with this landing American White Pelican.
“Gradual Diving” Pied-billed Grebe
Saying Goodbye To Farmington And Pelicans In An Approaching Storm
Some Recent Birds
Six images, six species.
None of these photos is an award-winner but for disparate reasons each one grabs me just a little and I’ll mention why in this post. All of them were taken in the last several weeks.
Rough-legged Hawk In flight (and a depth of field mystery…)
Occasionally I take a photograph that seems to defy (my faulty?) logic. And when that happens I probably spend more time pondering over it than I should.
