Beauty, Birds, Buddies And Bugs Yesterday On Antelope Island
Male Long-billed Curlew Taking Off
One of two shorebird species I think of as “Cinderella birds”. Here’s why. (3 photos)
Willets In The Desert
A Willet And A Quirky Surprise
I’ve only seen something like this happen once and I’ll almost certainly never see it again.
My First Willet Of The Year
What a reliable bird. I found “him” two days in a row, at the same time of early morning and on the same lonely and isolated perch.
Willet Teasing Me Mercilessly
This is why I keep returning to that gnarly old stump used as a perch in yesterday’s post.
Willet – Two Shots I Like And One That Broke My Heart
I got many photos I like of this bird but I screwed up on the only one that could have been spectacular.
Willet Wars
Willet In Flight Showing Off Those Flashy Wing Patterns
Sometimes I should be much more careful when choosing a single image from a series to post on Feathered Photography.
Peekaboo Willet
Soon the Willets on Antelope Island will mostly leave the island proper (if they haven’t already) and move down to the shoreline of the lake where they’re less accessible so for the last several weeks I’ve been striking while the iron is hot and photographing them at every opportunity.
Willets On The Rocks
Plus yet another Willet mystery but this one involves shadows rather than behavior.
Willet On Sagebrush
A Couple Of Willet Takeoffs
Willet – Allowing Enough Room For Wings At Take-off
Many things can go wrong when photographing birds at take-off and clipping wings is at or near the top of the list. The amount of room the photographer needs to allow for raised (or lowered) wings is hugely deceiving. Sure, you may catch the wings in a horizontal position without clipping them but that position is generally much less desirable.
