Red-tailed Hawks On The Nest With Chicks
I don’t photograph raptors on the nest very often but for me this situation was a worthy exception.
Sage Thrashers – A Hungry Chick And A Dutiful Parent

Short-eared Owl Replay
Western Grebe Behavior – An Unusual Variation On A Theme
I’m always intrigued by bird behaviors, especially when it’s something new that I can’t explain or find in the literature.
Male Short-eared Owl – A Creature Of Habit

Pied-billed Grebe Beating Up On A Fish
Peregrine Falcon On Prey And In Flight

I’ve occasionally been able to capture raptors as they’re about to land on a predictable perch but this is the first and only time I’ve been able to get a shot I like pretty well of a raptor as it’s about to (or attempt to) “land” on prey it’s seen from a far-away perch.
Black-billed Magpie With An Apparent Kill
Black-billed Magpies feed primarily on carrion, ground-dwelling arthropods and seeds. But yesterday morning I photographed a magpie with an apparent kill, a vole.
