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.
Rough-legged Hawk – The (very) Big Yawn
Male Belted Kingfisher Taking Off After A Fish
I know next to nothing about Oriental art but does this photo from yesterday morning have any resemblance to traditional Japanese prints?
Canada Goose Landing In A Snowstorm
A Northern Harrier In Flight And That Elusive Catch Light
Catch lights in the eyes of our subjects are important far beyond their diminutive size but they’re both fickle and elusive.
Preening Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk
A handsome raptor in an attractive natural setting performing an interesting behavior.
A Common Raven And His Shadow At Takeoff
A common species in both name and occurrence but around here at least ravens are uncommonly difficult to photograph well.
A Speed Skating Coot
The huge, goofy-looking feet of coots aren’t made to run on anything, least of all incredibly slick ice.
A Couple Of Chickadees Doing What Chickadees Do
In this case it’s hanging upside down from Douglas Fir cones like wannabe Red-breasted Nuthatches.
Prairie Falcon With A Few Surprises In Store For Me
Bird photographers never know what we’ll see in our photos that we didn’t notice in the field. My shots of this Prairie Falcon taken two days ago surprised me in more ways than one.
