Just Before A Meadowlark Takeoff, Problem Mysteriously Solved

The Canon R5’s animal/eye detection isn’t infallible but sometimes it surprises me with an incredibly quick recovery. (3 photos)

Normally I try to avoid publishing photos of the same species in back-to-back posts but I’ll make an exception for a Chukar fight. (5 photos)

This bird was most definitely not one of the relatively ‘tame’ Chukars on Antelope Island. (2 photos)

How blatant (and clueless) can these image thieves get? (3 photos including screen shots)

It’s been a while since I’ve photographed a “stiff-tail”. (7 photos)

I’ve seen a couple of other leucistic Red-winged Blackbirds in the past but none were as boldly marked as this one. (five photos)

I’ve photographed this behavior before but never as well as this. (8 photos)

And another series to show what I was up against while attempting to photograph fighting meadowlarks. (7 photos)

Plus an unusual bird for me to see, much less photograph. (3 photos)

Sometimes, in the literal blink of an eye, the photographer’s instincts take over and save the day. (6 photos)
