Feathered Photography

A Gluttonous Red-tailed Hawk

When food is plentiful raptors take advantage of the situation. Tomorrow things might be different.

Recently I’ve spent some time rooting around in my dusty archives and I’ve found a few gems that I originally passed over.

In the past I’ve been lucky to avoid faulty or defective camera gear but now it’s my turn to pay the piper.

Two days ago I photographed a pair of coyotes up close as they hunted voles along the Antelope Island causeway.

For me this image has the stamp of Antelope Island through and through, though others may not recognize it.

By the time early summer rolls around the plumage of many Bald Eagles has taken a beating.

What you see isn’t always what you get in nature photography. The following three images, taken sequentially in a burst, illustrate my point.

American Kestrels are primarily perch-hunters and they’re quite flexible in their choice of perches.

Thanks to cold temperatures and significant snow, some of the Northern Harriers at Farmington Bay are once again hunting closer to the road.

Over the years I’ve noticed something perplexing about the apparent relative numbers of immature and adult White-crowned Sparrows.
