A Morning Of Birds, Critters And Landscapes In Box Elder County

None of the following photos will win any awards but collectively they’re a fairly accurate representation of one of the more pleasant mornings I’ve had in the field recently. (11 photos)

Avian Potpourri From Antelope Island Three Days Ago

Eight photos of five species plus a short video clip.

West Desert Chukar

A Truly ‘Wild’ Chukar…

instead of yet another semi-tame Chukar on Antelope Island. Plus my first of year Swainson’s Hawks. (3 photos)

I love Chukars, in part because they make hunters pay in blood, sweat and tears (literally) for every bird they get. If there’s such a thing as a hunt that is strictly “fair chase”, it’s Chukar hunting. It may be the only hunt that still is.
