A Young And Inexperienced Osprey Loses A Fish
I’m sure this juvenile Osprey worked hard for the fish but what looked to me like a rookie mistake cost it a meal.
White-crowned Sparrow In Roughly My Ideal Takeoff Posture
Except for a seemingly small but very aggravating detail this second photo might have been among my favorite songbird shots of all time, largely because of degree of difficulty and four unlikely strokes of good luck.
Spotted Towhee(s) Transitioning Into Adult Plumage
These juveniles look a little scruffy this time of year but I refuse to make a big deal out them not looking their best, especially after the photo I posted of myself two days ago.
Plumbeous Vireo Snatching A Moth From Tree Bark
I’ve never posted images of a Plumbeous Vireo on my blog before and this bird is yet another species I owe to my time at the “porcupine bush”.
A Detailed Look At The Brand New Wildlife Education Center At Farmington Bay
The grand opening of the new Eccles Wildlife Education Center was yesterday morning and I was invited. I went early (very early) so I could take some photos before dignitaries and crowds arrived. This is one very special place.

Warbling Vireo And Food Porn For Birds

Snowy Egret Vertical Takeoff From Ten Years Ago Today
As I occasionally do I went archive-diving last night and ran across a series of Snowy Egret photos I like that I’ve never posted on Feathered Photography. Some of my inexperience in those days may show in the images but I still enjoy them and of course the reminiscing.
Yellow Warbler Jumping To A New Perch In Pursuit Of Berries
Yup, another Yellow Warbler. But yesterday morning I caught one doing something kind of interesting.
Male Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Several Recent Catbirds
Gray Catbirds are an elusive subject for me so I chalk up every decent shot I get of one into the victory column.
A House Finch That Was Both A Sloppy Eater And Fastidious About Hygiene
My time with this bird and others ended prematurely because of an encounter with a porcupine. A dead porcupine at that.
The Serviceberry-eating Strategy Of A Lazuli Bunting
It’s often little things like the subtle survival skills of birds that interest me most.
