A Hooded Merganser, A Mallard And Catching Up On Loose Ends
It’s been a morning of snafus and hair-pulling. A neat trick for me since I have very little hair.

Some Recent Urban Pond Birds
In the last three days I’ve visited three urban ponds in the Salt Lake Valley while looking for birds. (6 photos of 6 species)
Birds On Ice
Drake Mallard Flight Series
Mallard Doing A Somersault And A Partial Barrel Roll While Bathing
Bathing birds are fast. Even larger birds like ducks are surprisingly fast while bathing, so fast that the observer is often unaware of what’s really going on. That’s where photography comes in handy.
Mallard Bathing Frenzy
My Recent Lens Repair – The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
Plus a mini-review of Canon Professional Services (CPS) and some test photos of birds taken on the day I got my lens back from Canon’s California repair facility.
Mallard Pair In Flight
When things go right, a lot of things, photos of ducks in flight can have a certain elegance that is unique to them.
Mallard In A Flight Posture I’ve Never Before Captured Very Well
Northern Harriers – Surprise Attack
Female Mallard In Flight Series
A species too often ignored by bird photographers. I’m guilty of it myself so it’s time for atonement.
Avian Potpourri – Three Species, Five Images
A duck, a hawk and a heron.
Typical of potpourri there’s not much of a unifying theme here except each of my subjects has feathers in common and all five images illustrate something of interest (for me at least).
The Little Things That Can Make Or Break Our Images
Bird photography is largely a game of chance, particularly in action shots or when our subjects are in flight.
A Mallard And My Attempt At The Nearly Impossible
Maybe this “impossible dream” can actually be achieved. If any of my readers have ever succeeded with this type of shot I’d enjoy hearing about it.
Northern Harriers Not Seeing Eye To Eye
I’m speaking figuratively in my title of course. Literally they were doing exactly that.
