The Magpie Image That Broke My Heart Yesterday
A photo like this one inspires me because it shows me what’s possible but that doesn’t take the pain away when I screw it up.
Category: Ethics
Tundra Swan In Flight Against A Background I Really Like
One Angry Coot
American Coots are among the most belligerent birds in North America and I love photographing their chases and fights.
Rough-legged Hawk In Flight With Prey
A Clumsy Male American Kestrel
A Trio Of Common Mergansers In Flight
A Kingfisher And A Jerk
I encounter a lot of very nice people through my bird photography but I meet my share of stinkers too.
The Best News I’ve Heard About A Nature Photo Contest In Years…
Blue Jays In Utah And Pied-billed Grebes – Rare Birds And Food Fights
Northern Harriers Fighting And Hunting (+ a photo contest I endorse)
Fighting Northern Harriers (plus a rant about baiting raptors)
There’s more negative fallout caused by baiting raptors than many are aware of and some of it affects our fellow photographers who don’t bait and never have. I’ve been stewing about this for a while now so I finally had to get it off my chest.
Woodpeckers In (and coming out of) Nesting Cavities
Different woodpecker species often compete for the same nesting cavity and “ownership” can change from year to year.
Short-eared Owl – A Matter Of Breaking Another “Rule”
Plus another example proving beyond doubt that Utah state government has lost its collective mind!
Yellow-rumped Warbler (and the pervasiveness of fake nature photography)
As I mentioned yesterday I’ve been reexamining some of my expectations of my own photography but some things will never change and this is one of them.
A Kingfisher And….. A Cop
After so many kingfisher posts recently it was my intention to post a different species today. However, events of yesterday warranted otherwise. Those events include “my” male Belted Kingfisher being cooperative again, several fascinating kingfisher behaviors and an unexpected and potentially very unpleasant encounter with a local cop..
