A Squadron Of White-faced Ibises Flying Low Over The Great Salt Lake
Groups of birds in flight are hard to photograph well but I like the way this one turned out.
Coyote Lying Down And Then Resting On The Shore At Sunrise
Even mundane moments like this one can be pretty special when a wild animal allows us such an intimate look into their world.
Eared Grebe – An Unusual Feeding Behavior
Wilson’s Phalaropes Along The Antelope Island Causeway
Yet another bird that takes advantage of the Great Salt Lake’s brine flies and brine shrimp as a food source and they do so in huge numbers.
Coyote At Sunrise
I have a soft spot for coyotes that goes all the way back to my time growing up on the Montana farm.
Prairie Falcon Trying To Drag Heavy Prey
Dragging her next meal over all the bumpy obstacles was almost too much for the struggling falcon.
Spiders Galore
I realize that out of fear or revulsion (or both) some folks won’t even look at photos of spiders but I hope most of my readers aren’t in that category. I think spiders are marvels of evolution and many of them are actually beautiful in their own way.
American White Pelican Takeoff
American White Pelicans are a species I should train my lens on more often. While they’re sitting on the water they often don’t make a very interesting subject but getting that huge 16 lb. body airborne is a real struggle so photos of them taking off have much more interest for many of us.
A Couple Of Antelope Island Birds
A Chukar overlooking the Great Salt Lake and the fattest meadowlark you’ve ever seen. I’d bet the farm on it.
Male Northern Harrier In Flight
Loggerhead Shrike With Prey And In Flight
Plus a surprising reacquisition of focus on the shrike by the 7D Mark II after it took off directly at me.
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff In Low Light
Potpourri – A Few Recent Birds, Critters And Experiences
Four bird, one mammal and two “experience” photos – all taken within the last several weeks.
The Bizarre Biology Of The Eared Grebe
The little Eared Grebe may be the most biologically interesting bird species I’m aware of.
