A Bald Eagle From My Archives (and some thoughts on baiting)

Opportunities for the public to view Bald Eagles up close in northern Utah have evolved over the years.

In my view the only ducks that I see regularly that approach the elegance of male Pintails and Canvasbacks are the handsome Redheads.

You can’t tell me that birds don’t become “stickier” (more reluctant to fly and easier to approach) when it’s very cold.

With apologies to Yogi Berra for the liberties I took with my title I decided to post an image I’ve posted before, long ago. Here’s why.

After being “grounded” by the recent huge snowstorm for a couple of days I was finally able to go out shooting yesterday morning.

Weather like we’re having now is difficult for our avian winter residents and that includes American Kestrels.

These two birds fought over the fish for over three minutes.

If this post loads slowly for you it’s because it contains 19 images. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sometimes in the heat of the moment I get a shot that’s just a little bit different. Maybe even a whole lot different…

I thought this Sora was interesting for three reasons.

These grebes are typically pretty lethargic this time of year but on this morning things went a little nuts for a few minutes.
