A Peregrine Falcon To Try My Patience
Persistence and dogged tenacity are often prerequisites of bird photography but even then there’s no guarantee of success.

A Singing Meadowlark And Hopes Of Imminent Spring Dashed Again
Double-crested Cormorant Wing Flap
There’s twelve images here but this post is really about my experience using Canon’s “new” EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens in combination with a 1.4 extender (teleconverter).
Bison Bulls Doing What Bison Do
One problem with photographing bison is that they don’t do anything interesting very often. These big bulls were a bit of an exception.
The Bald Eagle And The Bat Box
Most Farmington Bald Eagles are nervous and shy but this subadult didn’t get the message.
Magpie Rising In Iridescent Splendor
Iridescence in Black-billed Magpies is fleeting but quite spectacular when you can catch the light just right.
Short-eared Owls Defending Their Nest Against Predators
A Mixed Bag Of Recent Birds
Occasionally I review my recent images and look for photos that I may have missed that hold some interest for me. This is a collection of eight of those images, taken over the past several weeks.
Male American Kestrel – Ol’ Bloody Foot
Little quirks in bird behavior often pique my curiosity even though I know there’ll likely never be a definitive explanation for them.
Rough-legged Hawk – Perched vs. Takeoff
It isn’t often that I prefer shots of a perched raptor over images of it taking off.
Rough-legged Hawk In A Unique Flight Posture
I seldom post the same species two days in a row but for this photo I’ll gladly made an exception.
A Stretched Out Rough-legged Hawk At Takeoff
My Male Merganser Miracle Shots
I have no idea how I was able to get this bird in frame in time, much less lock focus on it.
Northern Harriers Not Seeing Eye To Eye
I’m speaking figuratively in my title of course. Literally they were doing exactly that.
A Frosty Rough-legged Hawk At Dawn
The Rough-legged Hawk is an arctic species but even so this one must have been uncomfortably cold.
