Feathered Photography

A Western Bluebird Pick-me-up

I don’t remember seeing a Western Bluebird since I was a kid in Montana 60+ years ago.

American Coots are among the most belligerent birds in North America and I love photographing their chases and fights.

Wing flapping of aquatic species is a common behavior that I find difficult to photograph well.

It was almost like I called this bird out of the sky.

A seasonal change of pace this morning.

I spent more time with this Rough-legged Hawk than I have with any other raptor in flight.

Most winters around here Tundra Swans have been completely unapproachable but this year has been different.

This owl seemed to be as much of a creature of habit as I am.

And there’s more than one way to get it done.

This male demonstrates a fascinating molt and feather regrowth pattern.
