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.

Ferruginous Hawks And Wilderness Vistas Await Me
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.
My Trip Of Tiny Birds – Least Sandpiper
During my Montana camping trip last week I was able to photograph two of the tiniest birds of their types in the world.
Montana Short-eared Owl In Flight
I’m finding a fair number of Short-eared Owls on this trip to Montana and like our birds in Utah they like to perch on and take off from fence posts. But this male actually took off from the ground.
Wilson’s Phalarope Chick (and a frustrating equipment malfunction)
Like most days in the field yesterday had its ups and downs. I was excited to photograph a phalarope chick but a glitch with my primary camera really threw me for a loop.
Goin’ AWOL Again!
Departure: This morning. Duration: Unknown. Destination: Montana’s Centennial Valley and surrounding area. I just can’t get enough of that place.
A Pronghorn Fawn And A Near-disaster With Barbed Wire
I’m growing weary of featuring wildlife encounters with barbed wire on my blog and I’m sure some of my readers are too (that’s one of the reasons I’ve put this post off for over a month). But dammit, I just can’t stick my head in the sand and pretend this kind of thing doesn’t happen (don’t worry, there are no gory photos in this post).
Red-tailed Hawk With A Snake
Red-tailed Hawks are known to prey on snakes but it’s something I’ve not seen often and I’d never documented it well.
A Merlin Acting A Little Silly
Short-eared Owls And Handedness
Avocets And Phalaropes In A Nasty Hailstorm
This trip to Montana’s Centennial Valley was memorable for a variety of reasons, including a hailstorm that literally “rocked” our world and that of the birds around us.
Male Short-eared Owls Fighting For Mates And Breeding Territory
On one morning I was incredibly lucky to find two males trying to impress a female with their aerial prowess and fighting skills.
More Lens Woes
Short-eared Owl With Prey And Resting After Hunting
It’s barely the New Year but I’m already weary of snow and cold so there’s a change of pace this morning provided by a Short-eared Owl, flowers and the color green.
