Five Coyotes Attempt To Take Down A Deer On Antelope Island
In almost ten years of regular trips to Antelope Island (roughly 600-700 trips total) I’ve never had a wildlife encounter like this one!
Northern Harrier Technique For Taking Off In Thick Brush
Northern Harriers often dive into thick vegetation after prey. Getting out of there can be tricky.
Barn Owl – Now, How Do I Get Out Of This Snowbank?
Swainson’s Hawk Regurgitating Pellets, Then I Dissected Them
This hawk actually expelled two pellets and I was able to photograph (and dissect) both of them.
Pied-billed Grebes – Maniacal Kleptoparasites
I know of no bird that is more inclined to steal food from other members of its own species than Pied-billed Grebes.
American Kestrel With Moxie
I suppose it’s redundant to point out a kestrel with moxie – all kestrels have moxie by definition. But this one made that fact unusually obvious.
Wilson’s Snipes In The Snow
Feedback From HawkWatch International About Yesterday’s Banded Kestrel
As promised, here’s what I now know about the banded male American Kestrel I photographed on Christmas morning.
American Kestrel Takeoff In A Near Whiteout (+ a little surprise)
Song Sparrow In A Frosty Wonderland
I don’t have many “Christmassy” images but for me this one certainly showcases the season.
Barn Owl With Prey In The Snow
A Mysterious Long-billed Curlew Egg
We spotted a far off Long-billed Curlew in flight with something large in its bill.
An American Kestrel, Rabbitbrush And Snow
Snow-covered rabbitbrush is a perch I wish birds would use more often. Its seed heads often stay yellow until winter and when it’s covered with snow I think it makes an attractive and interesting setting for most any bird. But when the subject is a colorful male American Kestrel the combination can be particularly striking.
Western Kingbird Leaving Her Nest
After yesterday, when I nearly grew icicles on my chin inside my own home, I needed to post an image with some greenery and some implied warmth!
