Subadult Bald Eagle With Unusual Head Markings
Plus yesterday morning I had one of my most frustrating experiences ever with any kind of wildlife. This time with a bobcat.
Common Mergansers – Competition Among The Disadvantaged
I told this story seven years ago but this time I’m including more details and using mostly different photos.
Short-eared Owl In The Snow Looking Every Which Way
Some Recent Avian Potpourri
Male Common Mergansers In Flight
I don’t post a lot of ducks but mergansers of any species (there are three of them in North America) are among my favorites.
Photographing An American Kestrel (and a friend) In A Near-blizzard
Bald Eagle Serendipity Yesterday Morning In My Own Yard
Methinks I sometimes bitch too much when unexpected inclement weather forces me to stay home instead of going shooting as I planned.
Bathing And Wing-flapping Pied-billed Grebe
Late yesterday afternoon this thoughtful grebe took pity on me and saved my day at almost the last minute.
Forster’s Tern Flying Low Over A Pond
Northern Harrier Takeoff Series
Normally I try to avoid posting photos of the same species to my blog on consecutive days but this series, taken yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA, called for an exception. The following four photos are consecutive shots in a burst without any skips.
Pied-billed Grebe – Double Horizontal Wing Stretch
Male American Kestrel In Hoarfrost
I’m a big fan of hoarfrost in my bird photos, especially when the bird is as colorful and beautiful as the male American Kestrel.
Canada Goose Flying Through Thick Falling Snow
From my winters living in Montana I remember what it’s like to drive through snow like this. Flying through it in flocks of other birds must be even more harrowing, in part because of its three dimensional challenges in significantly reduced visibility.
Male American Kestrel Trying To Balance In The Wind
Good light and a cooperative bird is a combination I haven’t had in a very long time but it happened yesterday at Bear River MBR.
