A Bald Eagle From My Archives (and some thoughts on baiting)
Opportunities for the public to view Bald Eagles up close in northern Utah have evolved over the years.

A Pheasant, A Bald Eagle And Nictitating Membranes
You can’t tell me that birds don’t become “stickier” (more reluctant to fly and easier to approach) when it’s very cold.
Bald Eagle And Northern Harrier – A Retrospective On An Old Camera And Old Habits
It’s been a very long time since I’ve gone back and looked at some of my earliest images after I started photographing birds. I did so last night and the process was both enlightening and painful
Farmington Bald Eagle Update
For the past several weeks I’ve been receiving almost daily requests for the current and anticipated Bald Eagle situation at Farmington Bay WMA so this morning I’ve decided to be a little proactive with a blog post that covers most everything I know on the subject.
A Triple Dose Of Serendipity
They say that bad news comes in threes. Maybe sometimes the good stuff happens in triplets too.
Battered And Tattered Bald Eagle – It Must Have Been A Tough Winter
By the time early summer rolls around the plumage of many Bald Eagles has taken a beating.
Feathered Photography Is About To Become An Early Bird Again
Just a quick post this afternoon to announce a change in the posting schedule of Feathered Photography.
Anticipating Wintering Bald Eagles At Farmington Bay
With eagles on my mind during the drive home this morning I thought I’d post on Farmington eagles today.
Bald Eagle Leveling Out After A Steep Dive
Very few Bald Eagles remain in Utah during summer so I almost never see them in that season except on my Montana camping trips.
Bald Eagle In Montana’s Centennial Valley
I often photograph Bald Eagles in Utah during winter but for me those images have a different mood (for lack of a better word) because they’re often taken near urban environments and for me they don’t convey the feeling of wildness that I so love about the Centennial Valley. And I very seldom get anything “green” in my Utah Bald Eagle images taken in winter.
The Honor In Keeping Your Word (or the lack of it when you don’t)
Sadly, it’s not particularly unusual for folks who get free use of my images to not live up to their end of the bargain but I found this one to be more disturbing than most.
Intensity – Bald Eagle Landing For A Fight
The concentration of a raptor on landing is nearly always intense. Throw an impending fight into the mix and that intensity becomes almost palpable.
Farmington Bay, Bald Eagles And The 2014 Carp Kill
For years managers at Farmington Bay WMA have killed carp as a management tool. The dead fish bring in hundreds of Bald Eagles but this year, because of the West Nile Virus outbreak in the eagle population, managers had to decide whether or not to proceed with the fish kill. That decision has been made.
Two Bald Eagle Surprises – One Good, The Other Not So Much…
A Bald Eagle in my own suburban yard in the middle of a big city – yesterday it happened once again! But my delight was tempered by something ominous.
Photo Contracts – The Devil’s In The Details
A recent experience taught me that photographers (and other artists) don’t necessarily have to accept outrageous contract stipulations from “publishers” or lose the deal. There’s another page in that playbook.
