Willow Flycatcher – One Of The Aggravating Empids
Recently Fledged Red-tailed Hawk Coming At Me
Recently I reported the possible untimely demise of two Red-tailed Hawk fledglings from what I called “nest B”. Yesterday I discovered that both siblings are doing just fine.

Male MacGillivray’s Warbler Singing And Rousing
Yesterday morning I managed to get several shots I like of this “shy skulker”. They aren’t perfect but given my dismal track record with the species I was delighted to get them.
Male Lazuli Buntings Feeling Their Oats
Two days ago I spent 75 minutes near a small, isolated tree in a remote area of northern Utah trying to photograph male Lazuli Buntings at war with each other.
