A Highly Entertaining Belted Kingfisher
Barbed Wire Fences – More Good Than Bad For Short-eared Owls?
Many of us despise the disastrous effects of barbed wire fences on birds and other wildlife and I share that view. But maybe it’s a more nuanced issue than some of us believe. Could it be that barbed wire fences have a more positive overall effect on some species than negative?
American Kestrel – A Stiff-legged Takeoff
A Potpourri Of Recent Images (8 bird species and 1 mammal)
Though none of these photos may be truly spectacular I like each of them for their behavior, charm or uniqueness.
A Landing American Kestrel
Photos of birds as they land are a challenge, especially when your subject is a quick little falcon.
A Loggerhead Shrike And A Coyote In The Snow
This morning I feel a little like how this shrike must have felt just over a year ago. We finally have snow on the ground here in Salt Lake City!
White-crowned Sparrows – Deja vu All Over Again
Marsh Wrens In The Fall
I usually photograph Marsh Wrens in spring and early summer but I’ve had some luck with them this past week at Farmington.
Northern Harriers – Why It’s Wise To Be Wary While You’re Eating

This is a good time of year to be on the lookout for Peregrine Falcons on Antelope Island, especially along the causeway.
Male American Kestrel At Takeoff And In Flight
Because of their small size and quickness kestrels are the most challenging raptor I attempt to photograph at takeoff.
Belted Kingfisher – Some Poses And A Takeoff Series
I had some luck with another Belted Kingfisher yesterday morning and this time it was a male.

Coyote – The Shot That Might Have Been (and almost was…)
