I rarely photograph raptors on utility poles anymore but I’ll always make an exception for Prairie Falcons. Especially when they allow me to observe some of their behaviors up close. (7 photos)
Five days ago I spent about 40 minutes with a male Belted Kingfisher who even cooperated occasionally. These are some of the events I photographed that morning.
And believe it or not, this time he brought the fish close to me before gobbling it down instead of carrying it far away like he’s done repeatedly in the past.
