Horned Larks – Common, Subtly Beautiful And A Little Bit Quirky
Horned Larks are one of the most common and widespread bird species on earth but I don’t believe they get the respect they deserve.
A Stumbling, Bumbling Burrowing Owl
Young Burrowing Owls are pretty awkward when they’re still learning the ropes. In this case the “rope” was a wire.
Magpie With A Praying Mantis Egg Case (and an ingenious food strategy)
A Couple Of My Nemesis Birds – Belted Kingfisher and Sora
For me a “nemesis bird” is a species I haven’t been able to get any (or very few) decent photos of. Recently I had some luck with two of them in that category.

Loggerhead Shrike Devouring An Impaled Vole
Loggerhead Shrikes are often called “butcher birds” and this one demonstrated for me how that moniker was earned.
Juvenile Burrowing Owl – A Dynamic, Athletic Takeoff

Juvenile Burrowing Owl Playing Peekaboo
Sometimes I can’t explain well why I like an image – it just “grabs” me for some reason. In this case it’s for what I perceived as personal interaction with me.
Shrike Take-off Against A Smoky Background (plus an Antelope Island raptor report)
Birds were generally slow on Antelope Island yesterday morning but this Loggerhead Shrike saved the day.

This pugnacious juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron decided to take on a group of Snowy Egrets for the best fishing spot in this pond at Bear River MBR three days ago.
