American Pipits Gorging On Midges

American Pipits have been having a field day with midges at Farmington this week.

I usually prefer to shoot in early mornings. This image demonstrates one of the reasons why.

I don’t believe I’ve ever photographed an Eastern Red-tailed Hawk before so this bird caught my attention.

Podiceps, the genus name for grebes, means “anus-foot”. Unlike some Latin names, this one is well-earned.

This experience with Greater Sage Grouse was one of my most memorable in the field.

Sometimes the setting almost frames the bird for you.

Horned Larks are one of the most common and widespread bird species on earth but I don’t believe they get the respect they deserve.

Young Burrowing Owls are pretty awkward when they’re still learning the ropes. In this case the “rope” was a wire.

What we see in an image isn’t always what the photographer really captured.

I don’t post Great Blue Heron images as often as I should.
