Peekaboo Willet
Soon the Willets on Antelope Island will mostly leave the island proper (if they haven’t already) and move down to the shoreline of the lake where they’re less accessible so for the last several weeks I’ve been striking while the iron is hot and photographing them at every opportunity.
A Meadowlark And A Bump In The Road
I don’t have a lot of “oomph” in me right now so the bird portion of this post will be brief. I don’t like to inject too much personal stuff into my blog but when it begins to affect Feathered Photography I feel like I should come clean.
Lark Sparrow Singing And Rousing
Lark Sparrows returned to Antelope Island some time ago but until two days ago I haven’t been able to get any “clean” shots of them. I can partially blame the growth habits of sagebrush for that.
Willets On The Rocks
Plus yet another Willet mystery but this one involves shadows rather than behavior.
Willet On Sagebrush
Loggerhead Shrike With Prey And In Flight
Plus a surprising reacquisition of focus on the shrike by the 7D Mark II after it took off directly at me.
Western Meadowlark Perched And Taking Off
I love a quality takeoff shot so I’ll put up with a less than ideal perch before the bird launches.
Mockingbird Flight Display Photographed In Its Entirety…
…without skipping a beat. This was the first time I’ve been able to accomplish that long-time goal.
Vesper Sparrow On Tintic Quartzite
LBJ’s (little brown jobs) don’t get enough attention from bird photographers, including me on Feathered Photography, so this post is part of my effort to rectify the situation.
Barn Swallows Gathering Mud For Their Nests
Yesterday it was Cliff Swallows. To continue the swallow theme, today it’s Barn Swallows playing in the mud.
Flower-eating Chukar
This Chukar was hungry and he had a strong penchant for flowers. In fact he really stuffed himself on them.
A Favorite Burrowing Owl Image Of All Time
Out of uncounted thousands of Burrowing Owl photos I’ve taken over the years and many hundreds I haven’t deleted this image is one of my 3 favorites.
A Potpourri Of Recent Birds And Critters
It’s been a while since I published a potpourri post so I figured it was about time. Each of the following 8 images was taken over the last 8 days in places like Bear River MBR, Antelope Island, Farmington Bay WMA or other favorite haunts of mine in northern Utah.
Burrowing Owl Giving Me A Dubious Look
This is the same look I’d get from my mother when she caught me in the cookie jar as a little kid. I still remember that look.
