Horned Larks – Common, Subtly Beautiful And A Little Bit Quirky
Horned Larks are one of the most common and widespread bird species on earth but I don’t believe they get the respect they deserve.
Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk (and a question of photographic ethics)
Great Blue Heron In Flight
Northern Harrier – Surprisingly Similar Images Of The Same Bird In Flight
It isn’t unusual to get almost identical images of a perched bird but it’s another story when they’re in flight.
Western Meadowlark Takeoffs – Shutter Speeds And Motion Blur
Wings of birds move fast at takeoff (and in flight) and the smaller the bird the faster they move. This means that photographers must be cognizant of shutter speed if they want any control over the amount of motion blur in their images.
Magpie With A Praying Mantis Egg Case (and an ingenious food strategy)
The Injured Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk
Back-To-Back American Kestrels – Male And Female With Prey
I got relatively close to two kestrels, a male and a female, both with prey, within four minutes. Miracles do happen…
Barbed Wire Barn Owl Released Back Into The Wild (with photos)
Western Grebe And Three Chicks – No Room On The Taxi
When Western Grebe chicks get large enough, back brooding all the siblings becomes problematic.
Juvenile and Adult Swainson’s Hawks – A Feeding Session
Things got a little frenzied when one of the adult Swainson’s Hawks would bring a vole in to feed their juvenile offspring.
Status Report (with current photo) Of The Barn Owl That Was Entangled In Barbed Wire
Regular readers will remember my post of two weeks ago where I documented the heartbreaking story of this Barn Owl entangled in barbed wire in the Centennial Valley of Montana.
Prairie Falcon With Prey
This young female Prairie Falcon had just claimed her prize after a successful and well-planned hunt.
Adult Swainson’s Hawk, Perched And In Flight
This light morph Swainson’s Hawk challenged my photo gear-swapping technique as I photographed it perched and taking off.
