A Potpourri Of Recent Images (8 bird species and 1 mammal)
Though none of these photos may be truly spectacular I like each of them for their behavior, charm or uniqueness.

Sub-adult Bald Eagle In The Promontory Mountains
Differing crops of similar photos can have a major impact on the “feel” of the images.
A Loggerhead Shrike And A Coyote In The Snow
This morning I feel a little like how this shrike must have felt just over a year ago. We finally have snow on the ground here in Salt Lake City!
A Rousing Short-eared Owl
Leucistic Red-tailed Hawk In Flight And At Takeoff
This might be the most spectacular and unique raptor I’ve ever photographed or even seen. In fact there’s no “might be” about it – without qualification, it is. And I even got some pretty decent photos of it in flight.
A Red-tailed Hawk And Remembering To Practice What I Preach…
plus seeing the details of bird athleticism in my images that happen too fast for me to notice them in real time.
A Lepidopteran Change Of Pace
I decided to feature birds of a different feather this morning – Hummingbird Moths in flight.
Marsh Wrens In The Fall
I usually photograph Marsh Wrens in spring and early summer but I’ve had some luck with them this past week at Farmington.
Rio Grande Wild Turkeys On The Promontory Peninsula
Yesterday Wild Turkeys saved the day for me along Promontory Road. There sure wasn’t much else out and about to photograph.
A Peregrine Falcon And A Salute To Bob Walters
This is a good time of year to be on the lookout for Peregrine Falcons on Antelope Island, especially along the causeway.
Barn Owl – Landing And In Flight
I believe this first image may be only time I’ve ever managed a decent shot of an owl of any species during the landing process.
Red-tailed Hawk At Takeoff And In Flight – An Eleven Image Series
I took exactly forty shots of this hawk during takeoff and in flight. Eleven of them made the cut to include here, for reasons both good and not so good.
Migrating American Pipits
American Pipits have been migrating through my area for several weeks now so even though they’re common and inconspicuous I think they’re fully deserving of a closer look.
Farmington Barn Owl Perched and In Flight
Three days ago I stopped and talked to friend Jerry Ellison along the refuge road at Farmington and he informed me he’d photographed a cooperative Barn Owl at dawn.
Juvenile Northern Goshawk
This is probably more of a birder’s post than a photographer’s post. But dammit, I was excited to see this hawk!
