Yesterday’s Lifer Evening Grosbeaks
To get a lifer is unusual by definition, but to get a lifer in my own back yard is unheard of. (3 photos)

White-throated Sparrow – A Lifer For Me Yesterday Morning
After all these years of photographing birds I don’t get a new ‘lifer’ very often but I got one yesterday.
My New Lifer – Common Grackle
Not everyone’s favorite bird but a lifer always gets my attention, no matter the species.
Green Heron Seeming To Defy The Laws Of Gravity
Technically Green Heron’s aren’t considered to be rare in Utah but they’re close. This one was a lifer for me.
Fox Sparrow – A Lifer For Me
The last gift to me from my time at the “porcupine bush” was a species I’d never photographed or even seen before – a Fox Sparrow. And yes, that excites me.
Harris’s Sparrow At Farmington Yesterday (A Lifer For Me)
Blue Jays In Utah And Pied-billed Grebes – Rare Birds And Food Fights
A Raptor, Ducks In Flight And A Lifer From Montana’s Centennial Valley
Usually my blog focuses on a single species but today’s post is a bit of a potpourri.
A Long-eared Owl And Two Barn Owls At Farmington Yesterday (+ 2 video clips)
Christmas morning at Farmington was an “owly” experience for me – three birds, two species and a lifer.
Broad-tailed Hummingbird – A Lifer For Me
Two days ago a new species appeared at the flower patch on Antelope Island – a female Broad-tailed Hummingbird.
My Four (and a half) “Lifers” In Eight Days
At this point in my photography “career” it’s unusual for me to get a new lifer but lately I’ve been on a roll.
Juniper Titmouse (Yes, In A Juniper Tree)
For some reason I really enjoy being able to photograph a bird when its namesake habitat is obvious in the photo.
Red-naped Sapsucker With Prey
Western Wood-Peewee
I often make the observation that one of the reasons I’m a bird photographer rather than a birder is because many of the trappings of traditional birding simply don’t appeal to me – keeping lists, in particular. But I’ll admit that getting a “lifer” rings my bell.
And a lifer I got on this last Montana trip – a Western Wood-Peewee. Several of them, in fact.
