Juvenile Black-capped Chickadees In A Feeding Frenzy On Mullein
In the western US common mullein is often referred to as “cowboy toilet paper” but chickadees use it for food. These two youngsters may have been siblings but that doesn’t mean they had to be friendly over their breakfast.
Juvenile American Goldfinch Compared To The Adult Male
For some reason I seldom see and rarely photograph juvenile American Goldfinches. Until recently I didn’t realize how striking and distinctive their wing patterns and colors are and how different they are from the adults.
The Song Sparrow Versus The Serviceberry
Cedar Waxwing Perched And Taking Off
Waxwing takeoff shots have been a goal of mine for some time and I finally succeeded two days ago in the Wasatch Mountains.
Juvenile Bullock’s Oriole And Chokecherries
A species I rarely have a chance with in the wild but my luck changed yesterday morning.
The Downy Woodpecker And The Feather
An Acrobatic Song Sparrow Yesterday Morning
Western Kingbird With Unusual Nesting Material
The Barn Swallow Version Of Deep Throat
An adult in flight feeding one of its fledglings. And let’s just say it’s being done enthusiastically by both participants.
Juvenile Green-tailed Towhee
Yesterday morning in the Wasatch Mountains I photographed my first juvenile of this species.
Red-tailed Hawks Doing Battle
Goldfinches And Testing The Speed Of Your Reflexes – And Mine
Are you ready for a test of the speed of your reflexes? I’ve come up with what I hope my readers will find is a fun and interesting little experiment that will demonstrate how quick you have to be to photograph a small bird as it’s taking off. We’ll even see how I did with the same test.
My First Ever Say’s Phoebe Takeoff And Flight Shots
Yesterday morning we found a family of at least four Say’s Phoebes in the Wasatch Mountains. The adults were feeding their hungry fledglings.
A Few Minutes In The Lives Of 2 Sibling Red-tailed Hawk Fledglings
Fourteen minutes condensed into eight photos to be precise. These are behavioral images and none of them are great shots but I think most of us here on Feathered Photography appreciate interesting behaviors at least as much as we do “pretty bird photos”.
