Adult Bald Eagle On Landing Approach
For some reason I don’t see, or at least notice, the alulae (bastard wings) on eagles very often.
A Few Recent Birds
Occasionally I like to post a collection of recent bird images – a potpourri of sorts. These are photos that I might not post as stand-alones but collectively they’re a pretty good representation of some of the species now present in northern Utah. Each of these images was taken over the past eleven days.
Where Have All The Raptors Gone?
I know my title sounds like a Peter, Paul and Mary song but this is a serious question that I become more concerned about with each passing day.
Do Raptors Ever Deliberately Drop Their Prey In Flight?
Northern Harrier In Golden Light
The “Little Things” That Change Our Lives
I often wonder what my life would have been like but for a small quirk of fate 58 years ago.
Black-billed Magpies On A Bison Gut-pile
My title is warning enough that these photos are graphic but I believe this story must be told.
Some Recent Birds In My World
This selection of seven photos is a fairly representative cross-section of the bird species I’ve been seeing recently.
American Kestrel Struggling With Wet, Sticky Pipit Feathers In The Snow
Belted Kingfisher Throwing A Pellet
Long-billed Curlew – A Stretched-out Takeoff Series
Hooded Merganser With A Misaligned (not deformed) Bill
Full Frame Barn Owl In Flight
I seldom get an image of a bird in flight that doesn’t need cropping for the best possible composition.
Sage Thrashers Grooming And Displaying
Sage Thrashers have been described as “rather plain and unremarkable” but I love’em.
