A Mixed Bag Of Recent Birds
Rufous Red-tailed Hawk – An Unconventional And Unpredictable Takeoff
In birds behavioral tendencies can often be predicted with reasonable accuracy but individuals sometimes fake me right out of my shoes.
Hummingbird In Flight In A Field Of Pink
I believe it’s a female Black-chinned Hummingbird but I can’t be sure of the species.
More Yellow-rumped Warblers
I’ve finally seen and culled the 1900+ photos I took of these butter-butts a week ago today. The following day I posted two of them but since then I found more that I like so I’m including some of them today.
A One-eyed Pelican And A One-eared Weasel
It’s no surprise that it’s tough to make a living out there in the wild but I was surprised to find this much stark evidence of it on the same morning.
Green Heron Seeming To Defy The Laws Of Gravity
Technically Green Heron’s aren’t considered to be rare in Utah but they’re close. This one was a lifer for me.
A Warbling Vireo And A Surprise Osprey Carrying A Trout
Birds were slow in the mountains yesterday but there were a couple of bright spots and one of them was totally unexpected.
Male Belted Kingfisher Diving On A Fish
When I find a bird in a situation unfavorable for photography I tend to try harder if it’s a kingfisher.
