Solar And Avian Serendipity In A Freezing Landscape

I rarely get lucky twice in the same photo. (2 photos)

An Angry American Coot

American Coots are universally described as quarrelsome and belligerent but this time of year they crank it up a notch. Or two. (three photos)

Male Common Goldeneye In Flight

Common Goldeneyes are called “Whistlers” for good reason.

Long-tailed Weasel In Fog

And the mechanism for their seasonal color change. (6 photos)

A New Kingfisher Challenge For Me

Kingfishers in flight as they’re about to land on their next fishing perch. Kingfisher landing shots are tough to get. (7 photos)

Diving Belted Kingfisher Series (plus 1)

Whether the bird is perched or in flight, it’s unusual for me to like a kingfisher photo more for its aesthetics than for its action and/or behavior. But that’s the case with this first image. (4 photos)

Golden Eagle In Flight Soon After Takeoff

I’ve posted three other photos of this bird in the past but I think this one also deserves to be seen. After all, I don’t get many opportunities with Golden Eagles, especially in flight, in good light and reasonably close.

Belted Kingfisher Diving On A Fish

Same kingfisher as in yesterday’s post but this time he’s diving on a fish instead of flying off. (4 photos)

Belted Kingfisher In Flight Yesterday Morning

The first bird I’ve photographed in ten days.

Two Coyotes Hunting And The Last Moments Of A Vole

And attempting to break a very old habit. (5 photos)
