My First Burrowing Owl In Far Too Long
Loggerhead Shrikes “Courtship Feeding”
An interesting Loggerhead Shrike behavior I photographed on two consecutive mornings. (10 photos)
An Osprey In The City
I don’t get a chance with Ospreys very often and one in the city is even more unusual. (3 photos)
Two Takeoffs From A Male American Kestrel

Male American Kestrels Getting Some Tail

The Bald Eagle Has Returned To My Yard

Finally – Another Approachable Prairie Falcon
It’s been over three years since I’ve been able to closely approach a Prairie Falcon in the Centennial Valley but yesterday it finally happened again.

Burrowing Owls are “supposed” to migrate out of Utah during winter but yesterday I photographed one up close on Antelope Island that apparently didn’t read the book.
Prairie Falcon With Some Interesting History
I have more difficulty approaching Prairie Falcons than I do most other raptor species so when I can get close to one it’s always a memorable experience.

Male Loggerhead Shrikes feed their mates beginning with the formation of pair bonds in early spring and such behavior continues throughout the incubation and nestling periods.

It’s been six months since I’ve photographed a Burrowing Owl but yesterday on Antelope Island my “owl drought” finally ended.
Finally! – Another Antelope Island Burrowing Owl
It’s been a tough summer for me with Burrowing Owls. Normally I spend a lot of time photographing them but this year they’ve been mostly uncooperative to the extreme – too skittish, too far away, too buried in vegetation and too scarce.
But I had a pleasant surprise two days ago on Antelope Island.
