Feathered Photography

Juvenile Western Tanager Investigating A Potential Snack

A matter of a few inches can make the difference between a rather pedestrian image and one that’s far more interesting.

It’s a simple shot and it may be a ‘bird on a stick’ but I like it.

I thought mullein was an unusual perch for the species but I guess Downy Woodpeckers aren’t picky about where they find their ‘bugs’.

When it comes to legs crane flies have a lot to give.

Thistle, especially when flowering, can provide an attractive setting for bird photographs but it does have its challenges.

What, you mean everything you read online isn’t true!

The combination of innocence, curiosity and exuberance in very young birds can be fun to watch, if difficult to explain.

A Northern Shoveler is unusually large prey for a Prairie Falcon but this young female pulled off the kill in spectacular fashion.

Sometimes it’s hard to assign motivation or intention to a behavior, especially when it involves an ungainly and inexperienced young bird.

And good excuse or bad excuse I’m gonna use it.
