This female American Kestrel is the apparent mate to the male I posted two days ago.

Kestrel – You Never Know When You’ll Get A Nice Flight Shot (or 2)
Occasionally a situation with low potential can unexpectedly result in a nice flight shot, or even two.
Magpies – They’re Already Building Nests
Golden Eagles Playing In The Wind
For the past several weeks I’ve sporadically been photographing Golden Eagles on Antelope Island. Yesterday morning was the most fun (and the most disappointing) time with them yet.
Raven – The Last Image I’ll Take Using My 100-400mm Lens
Ravens are common in my area but I rarely get interesting quality images of them for a variety of reasons. For starters their deep black plumage makes them very difficult to photograph well. And around here they also tend to be shy and devilishly uncooperative.
Northern Harrier With An Interesting Tail Feather
I had some fun with a rather unique Northern Harrier yesterday morning.
Belted Kingfisher In Flight
Several Belted Kingfishers have been wintering in the Farmington area and as of late they’ve been slightly more cooperative than is typical of the species.
Northern Harrier Take-off From The Frozen Marsh
Thanks to cold temperatures and significant snow, some of the Northern Harriers at Farmington Bay are once again hunting closer to the road.
Barn Owl In Flight (and hopes for a white Christmas)
I don’t have many Christmassy-looking images to accompany my heart-felt wishes that all of my readers have a joyous holiday with family and loved ones so this Barn Owl in flight against a snowy backdrop will just have to do. I thought about cloning a red Santa hat onto the head of the bird but that thought was a fleeting one because I just couldn’t bring myself to do that to the owl.
A Few Sandhill Crane Images I Find Interesting
This past March I spent some time with migrating Sandhill Cranes near Capitol Reef National Park.
Northern Harrier – Image Stabilization & A Crazy-Fast Shutter Speed Save The Day
This image was taken in what I thought were probably impossible conditions to get a sharp shot. Normally it isn’t a shot that I’d even attempt.
Red-tailed Hawk And The Demise Of A Vole
This juvenile Red-tailed Hawk had a fine, furry, Farmington feast for breakfast this morning.
Raptor Images Demonstrating That “Little Things” Can Make Or Break A Shot
The little things that so often negatively impact the appeal of an image often drive me to distraction.
WC Sparrow In Flight (a shot I’d have missed without the 7D Mark II)
Getting a sharp image of any passerine in flight is not an easy task, especially when they’re coming toward you. I’m convinced I’d have missed this shot if I’d still been shooting with my Canon 7D.
(I’ve also included a whimsical shot of the same species for “dessert”).
Peregrine Falcon In Flight After Dining On Duck
Peregrine Falcons aren’t noted for their table manners and this one needed just a little cleaning up after dinner.
