There are no easy answers for the dilemma of barbed wire and its effects on wildlife and even domestic animals, especially if you’re a farmer or rancher. But we can certainly improve our track record if we realize there’s a problem. A big one.
Fourteen minutes condensed into eight photos to be precise. These are behavioral images and none of them are great shots but I think most of us here on Feathered Photography appreciate interesting behaviors at least as much as we do “pretty bird photos”.
I don’t get many decent chances at Golden Eagles and there’s something in the last shot I’d like my viewers to see and appreciate.
Photographing this Chukar gave me a sense of accomplishment that I seldom get when I photograph them on Antelope Island.
Before we can photograph owls we have to find them and this wise ol’ Barn Owl taught me a valuable lesson in that regard.
It was an absolute joy and a privilege to document cause and effect with this mated pair of Red-tailed Hawks.
The Rough-legged Hawk is our only buteo that exhibits true sexual dimorphism so adults can be sexed based on plumage.
This species is the only truly migratory gnatcatcher so I expected ours to be gone by now but yesterday morning they were still around in good numbers.
Knowing their habits and quickness I didn’t think a kinglet in flight without a cluttered background would ever happen for me.
If my bird photography success rate was as low as the accuracy rate of weather forecasters I think I’d sell my camera gear and hang it up…
