Aggressive Great Blue Herons – “Upright And Spread Wing Display”
After twelve years of photographing birds and paying particular attention to their behaviors it isn’t every day that I witness a ritualized aggressive behavior that’s new to me. But it happened yesterday at Bear River MBR with a couple of Great Blue Herons, seemingly on steroids.
Two Great Blue Herons – Tweedledum and Tweedledee? Not Quite
Fourteen Image Series Of A Great Blue Heron Taking Off And In Flight
I actually got nine additional photos of this bird in flight but I thought these fourteen were the best ones. They’re all presented in the order they were taken with no skips.
Me And My Shadow – Great Blue Heron In Flight
Occasionally a single element in a photo will grab me in a way that I’m willing to overlook something else that would normally put me off a little.
A Potpourri Of Recent Birds And Critters
It’s been a while since I published a potpourri post so I figured it was about time. Each of the following 8 images was taken over the last 8 days in places like Bear River MBR, Antelope Island, Farmington Bay WMA or other favorite haunts of mine in northern Utah.
Carp As A Food Source At Farmington Bay WMA
A Well-equipped Fisherman And Another One… Not So Much
Some fishermen have all the “right stuff” but for others there’s just something missing.
Some Recent Birds In My World
This selection of seven photos is a fairly representative cross-section of the bird species I’ve been seeing recently.
Great Horned Owl In Phragmites
I realize that Great Horned Owls have the most extensive range of any American Owl but this one still surprised me a little.
A Few Recent Great Blue Herons In Flight (+ a discussion of shutter speed)
Last month while photographing birds on the water at Bear River MBR I’d get the occasional and unexpected Great Blue Heron fly-by.
Magpies Building Nests Already And Ice-fishing Herons
I photographed two interesting bird behaviors yesterday morning on Antelope Island and at Farmington Bay WMA.
Great Blue Heron In Flight
Great Blue Heron Repeatedly “Baptizing” A Large Fish
Birds In A Christmas Morning Snowstorm
It’s been my Christmas tradition for years to spend part of the morning photographing birds. I usually have the place (wherever it might be) mostly to myself and personally I find communing with nature on Christmas morning to be quite appropriate and fulfilling. And yesterday’s snowstorm was pure delight.
