Bathing Meadowlark – It Pays To Learn To Anticipate Behavior

Predicting the behavior of this Western Meadowlark allowed me to get a boat-load of very interesting action shots.

This owl, like the others, was hunting from fence posts instead of on the wing.

Bird photography is difficult enough without the added aggravation of hordes of biting insects.

It’s unusual for me to struggle with the composition of my images but these Turkey Vulture photos are an exception.

For the bird species I typically photograph the courtship displays of Sage Thrashers are unique.

Sometimes even small prey doesn’t give up without a fight.

This Red-tailed Hawk took a breather while carrying a stick to the nest.

Chukars actually eat and digest grass. When you think about it that’s a pretty neat trick.

This male curlew was an ardent suitor indeed.

One day I’d like to see slow-motion video of a hovering tern. In the meantime sequences like this will have to do.
