Finally – Another Approachable Prairie Falcon
It’s been over three years since I’ve been able to closely approach a Prairie Falcon in the Centennial Valley but yesterday it finally happened again.

A Black-necked Stilt And A Little Weirdness
These aren’t serious images, in fact I’d probably categorize them as novelty photos. But I still find them visually interesting and somehow they seem appropriate for Saturday morning.
Ferruginous Hawks And Wilderness Vistas Await Me
Bathing Western Meadowlark – Curtain Call
Clumsy Young Prairie Falcon In Low Light
It’s rare for a Prairie Falcon to allow a close approach but this young bird was an exception.
Ferruginous Hawk In Flight With Nesting Material
The mystery continues as to what this nesting material actually is but I think I have a pretty good guess.
A Few Recent Great Blue Herons In Flight (+ a discussion of shutter speed)
Last month while photographing birds on the water at Bear River MBR I’d get the occasional and unexpected Great Blue Heron fly-by.
Saying Goodbye To The Old Farmington Nature Center And Welcoming The New
I cut my photographic teeth at Farmington Bay and the Great Salt Lake Nature Center played a pivotal role in my activities out there.
A Red-tailed Hawk Image I’ve Changed My Mind About
Occasionally I have second (or even third or fourth) thoughts about an image. This is one of them.
Western Grebe – Swallowing A Catfish Can Be Dangerous Business
I suspect this Western Grebe may have had a previous and unpleasant experience with a catfish.
Great Horned Owl – A Bird I Gambled On And Lost

The Elusive Wilson’s Snipe
The preferred habitat of the Wilson’s Snipe often isn’t pretty but they’re elusive enough that I’ll photograph them anywhere I get the chance.
Calliope Hummingbird In A Natural Setting
I have fewer opportunities with hummingbirds than many bird photographers because I won’t photograph them at setups (or flash them). I much prefer a natural setting, natural light and behaviors that haven’t been coerced.
Bald Eagles And The “Good Old Days” At Farmington Bay
This morning I felt like reminiscing a little about the old days at Farmington Bay and the Bald Eagles there in winter.
