Yellow Warblers From Yesterday Morning In The Mountains
How many photos of Yellow Warblers on the ground do we see? In my experience very, very few. Instead they nearly always seem to be in trees.
Golden Eagle Perched And In Flight
I don’t get many decent chances at Golden Eagles and there’s something in the last shot I’d like my viewers to see and appreciate.
Long-tailed Weasel ‘In Disguise’
Downy Woodpecker (perhaps two of them)
Yellow Warblers – Adults And Fledglings From Yesterday Morning
Male Broad-Tailed Hummingbird Showing Off His Colors
Male Yellow Warbler With A “Bug” Taking Off
Not a great shot but for me the degree of difficulty makes it one I was happy to get. I’ve been trying for weeks to get a photo similar to this one, taken 6 days ago in the Wasatch Mountains.
What About Those Red Waxy Tips On Cedar Waxwing Secondaries?
What are they made of? What’s their purpose? And why do some waxwings have more red waxy tips than others and some individuals don’t have any at all?
Male Mountain Bluebird And Fledglings
Cornell’s Birds of North America Online calls Mountain Bluebirds one of the most sublime songbirds in North America and I agree. The cerulean blue of the male is simply spectacular and females and juveniles show some of it too.
Cedar Waxwing Running In Midair
Or at least that’s what it looks like. A short post today with an image that both amuses and frustrates me.
Nine Recent Birds, Nine Different Species
Northern Rough-winged Swallows
Have you ever wondered how this swallow acquired such an unusual name? Where did “rough-winged” come from?
Nest-building Cedar Waxwings
Yesterday morning I had another supremely challenging session with the nest-building waxwings in the Wasatch Mountains.
Monotone Short-eared Owl – But Oh Those Yellow Eyes!
This is far from a typical image from me and to be honest I almost deleted it before I looked at it more carefully.
