Great Horned Owl In Phragmites
I realize that Great Horned Owls have the most extensive range of any American Owl but this one still surprised me a little.

Male American Kestrel (and a meadowlark with a death wish)
After all the time I’ve spent in the field watching and photographing birds and their behaviors I still occasionally see something that surprises me.
Swainson’s Hawk Harassed By An Oriole And A Mockingbird
Raven Sneak Attack On A Golden Eagle In Flight
It isn’t every day that I get to photograph an aerial attack by a raven on a Golden Eagle.
Williamson’s Sapsuckers – The Changing Of The Guard
The Williamson’s Sapsuckers I photographed earlier this summer had a routine while they were feeding their chicks and I presume it went on all day long. And often a feisty pair of wrens made that routine more complicated.
Red-tailed Hawk Attacked By A Swainson’s Hawk
The Centennial Valley had one more surprise in store as we left for home last Thursday morning. Photographing birds and other wildlife along the 27 mile long dirt road while I’m pulling the camping trailer is always awkward but the road is typically deserted that time of day and we’ve come up with something special more than once on the way out.
Red-tailed Hawk Sucker-punched By A Kestrel
Yesterday I photographed an attack by an American Kestrel on an adult Red-tailed Hawk. What made it unusual was the fact that the hawk didn’t see the kestrel coming, so its reaction to being thumped on the head was, well… amusing.
The Bison Of Antelope Island
Last fall I drove up just as this scenario was playing out. This guy was a biker (bicycle) who had laid his bike down on the road and approached this bison much too closely on foot to get a few photos with his point and shoot. I just knew bad stuff was going to happen so I quickly aimed my camera just as the bison charged this bozo.
