Black-billed Magpie Takeoff From A Thicket
Male Brewer’s Blackbird In Flight
My first time photographing a male of this species in flight. I had to cheat a little to get it the way I want it but I finally got the photo.
The Barn Swallow Version Of Deep Throat
An adult in flight feeding one of its fledglings. And let’s just say it’s being done enthusiastically by both participants.
Two Perspectives On Snowy Egrets In Flight
Snowy Egrets In Flight (and a Long-eared Owl at Bear River)
I don’t post Snowy Egrets very often. Maybe that’s because they’re such a difficult subject to expose properly.
Forster’s Tern Performing A Hovering Ballet
One day I’d like to see slow-motion video of a hovering tern. In the meantime sequences like this will have to do.
A Harrier Teasing Me In The Wind
Male Common Goldeneye Foraging In Rapids Of The Jordan River
This was one of my most challenging bird photography sessions ever but the behavior was fascinating to watch.
Harrier Takeoff Series (for the photographer it’s all about choices)
One of the biggest challenges of photographing birds at takeoff is avoiding clipped wings. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don’t.
Male Redhead – The “Fool Duck”
Male Redheads are a handsome duck and I’ll photograph them every chance I get. Interesting poses are a bonus.
2 Black-crowned Night Herons (and the volatility of shutter speed)
These two images demonstrate how dramatically shutter speed can change in different lighting conditions when you’re shooting in aperture priority.
Juvenile Black-billed Magpie Launching From Rabbitbrush
A Nostalgic Look At The Male Williamson’s Sapsucker
I sure do miss this woodpecker and its mate. I photographed them for parts of two breeding seasons in Clark County, Idaho but about a month ago some idiot chopped down their nest tree (the one in these images) and I haven’t seen the birds since.
Hovering Forster’s Tern
Photographing terns in flight is often more challenging than it is for other bird species.
