Sunrise Performance By A Male Yellow-headed Blackbird

A fun ‘first bird’ on my trip to Bear River MBR two days ago. In some ways he turned out to be my best bird.

Or at least part of the ceremony. One of the potential participants was a reluctant performer.

Yet another hawk looking pretty beat-up from molt, this one from two days ago.

Or at least most of his stuff. A small part of him was hidden.

Plus a word to the wise if you ever have to send your camera in for repair.

Yesterday morning I finally found a few cooperative Swainson’s Hawks.

And evidence of the extreme violence she directed at the poor fish.

Guess what I found yesterday.

I love getting our shaded Wasatch Mountains in the background when I’m photographing Bald Eagles in flight.

Just a little thing I’m having a hard time interpreting.
