A Ferruginous Hawk And Visual Tension
Prepare yourself because I’m probably going to overanalyze this first image. I can feel it coming…
Category: Favorite Locations
Barn Owl – Landing And In Flight
I believe this first image may be only time I’ve ever managed a decent shot of an owl of any species during the landing process.
My First Of Year Rough-legged Hawk (+ mergansers galore)
I probably look forward to the return of the Rough-legged Hawk more than I do any other migrating bird.
The Cause Of The Deformed Beaks In Birds I’ve Photographed May Finally Be Known
Over the years I’ve documented a variety of birds with severely deformed beaks including the two examples below. Now we may know the cause of the condition.
Migrating American Pipits
American Pipits have been migrating through my area for several weeks now so even though they’re common and inconspicuous I think they’re fully deserving of a closer look.
Farmington Barn Owl Perched and In Flight
Three days ago I stopped and talked to friend Jerry Ellison along the refuge road at Farmington and he informed me he’d photographed a cooperative Barn Owl at dawn.
A Harassed Grebe And A Barn Owl Yesterday Morning At Farmington
I almost didn’t go shooting yesterday because birds have been slow but one of my mantras is “you never know unless you go”, so go I went. I’m very glad I did.
Western Grebe Chick – A Jekyll And Hyde Transformation
Western Grebes have unusually mercurial personalities and their chicks exemplify that trait, especially when potential food is involved.
Western Grebe With A Fish In Gorgeous Water
For me the water reflections in this image almost steal the show from both the grebe and the fish.
Side-lit Barn Owl In Flight
White-crowned Sparrows And Photographic Tradeoffs
When I have to choose between shutter speed and depth of field I usually lean towards faster SS’s. Sometimes it pays dividends and sometimes it doesn’t.
Male American Kestrel – Blue On Blue
Directly or indirectly I learned at least three important lessons about photography from this beautiful male kestrel.
A Mostly Monotone Meadowlark
I almost deleted this image on my first culling pass because I thought it lacked pizzazz.
The Agony And The Ecstasy Of Bird Photography
As viewers we almost never know what it really took for the photographer to get that shot we like so much.
Hatch Year Black-billed Magpies At Takeoff
Magpies along with many other birds have been relatively scarce on Antelope Island since the wildfire in July.
