Some Random Recent Birds And Critters
A potpourri of sorts on this Saturday morning. Each of the following photos was taken in the last couple of weeks and all but one were taken in the Wasatch Mountains.

A Scary Encounter With A Very Young Pronghorn
A Black-crowned Night Heron And A Long-tailed Weasel
Yesterday was a pretty good day at Bear River MBR but any day I photograph a weasel is a good one.
Delta-winged Red Tailed Hawk In Flight
A Weird Experience With A Coyote On Antelope Island
I’ve been photographing coyotes on Antelope Island and elsewhere for many years now and this was the most perplexing behavior I’ve ever seen.
Mourning Dove In Flight
Uinta Ground Squirrels Can Really Throw Some Dirt!
If I ever have to replace the stop and waste valve on my sprinkler system again I’d like to hire this guy for the digging part of it. I’d pay him top wages too.
Are Predator Control Practices Used On Antelope Island Coyotes?
Coyote populations on Antelope Island have declined dramatically over the last few years and recent disturbing events had some of us wondering if Utah State Parks was practicing predator control on the island. Yesterday afternoon I was on a mission to find out.
Some Recent Non-bird Critters
Some have fur and some have scales but there isn’t a feather to be found in this collection. All photos were taken three days ago.
Yellow-bellied Marmot Pup Just Being Cute
Coyotes, Glacier County, Montana And The Despicable “Wildlife Services”
Horned Lark In Snow, A Cottontail Rabbit And A Banded Kestrel From Yesterday
I fully expected to be skunked by the lack of birds or poor light or both but this trip to Antelope Island was a little better than I anticipated. We actually had good light until near the end of the morning and we found a few interesting critters.
The Trouble With Harems (and for buck pronghorns it’s a big one)
Some Of The Reasons I Despise Barbed Wire
There are no easy answers for the dilemma of barbed wire and its effects on wildlife and even domestic animals, especially if you’re a farmer or rancher. But we can certainly improve our track record if we realize there’s a problem. A big one.
Pronghorn Fawn Frolicking In The Grass
In my opinion this is the cutest baby mammal of any species I’ve ever photographed.
