A Peregrine Falcon And A Salute To Bob Walters
This is a good time of year to be on the lookout for Peregrine Falcons on Antelope Island, especially along the causeway.

Coyote – The Shot That Might Have Been (and almost was…)
Loggerhead Shrike, With An Alternate Perspective On The Setting
Super-telephoto lenses can do a great job on the bird but they often leave the viewer clueless about habitat.
A Mostly Monotone Meadowlark
I almost deleted this image on my first culling pass because I thought it lacked pizzazz.
In Celebration Of Common Species – White-crowned Sparrow
I have a strong distaste for most forms of elitism but when it comes to birds I have to be careful not to let a bit of snobbishness creep in.
Hatch Year Black-billed Magpies At Takeoff
Magpies along with many other birds have been relatively scarce on Antelope Island since the wildfire in July.
Bathing Western Meadowlark – Curtain Call
Clumsy Young Prairie Falcon In Low Light
It’s rare for a Prairie Falcon to allow a close approach but this young bird was an exception.
A Red-tailed Hawk Image I’ve Changed My Mind About
Occasionally I have second (or even third or fourth) thoughts about an image. This is one of them.
Calliope Hummingbird In A Natural Setting
I have fewer opportunities with hummingbirds than many bird photographers because I won’t photograph them at setups (or flash them). I much prefer a natural setting, natural light and behaviors that haven’t been coerced.
Birds “Wearing To Dark” – Chukars and Loggerhead Shrikes
Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk Hunting Near Frary Peak
Snowy Egrets In Flight (and a Long-eared Owl at Bear River)
I don’t post Snowy Egrets very often. Maybe that’s because they’re such a difficult subject to expose properly.
Anatomy Of A Magpie Nest
Due to changing conditions I’m finally getting a better look at this interesting and complex nest.
An Acrobatic, Spring-loaded Virginia Warbler (+ a bonus image)
The heat’s been dreadful in the valley for weeks now so yesterday morning we decided to go high into the nearby Wasatch Mountains for some relief.
