Why Did The Goldeneye Run Across The Pond?
Like the chicken who crossed the road, I have no idea.
And this bird complicated my decision about buying a new camera. (11 photos)
Western Grebe – Me And My Shadow
An older photo I’d forgotten even existed. Plus a report on our current drought and the disappearing Great Salt Lake.
Drake Common Goldeneye Feeling Frisky
My most interesting Common Goldeneye photos so far this year, thanks in part to the early courtship behavior of the species.
Redhead Wing Flap (a nine image series)
Wing flapping of aquatic species is a common behavior that I find difficult to photograph well.
Common Goldeneye Wing Flap
A few Common Goldeneyes including adult males, adult females and 1st winter birds of both sexes have been wintering near my home
A Handsome Coot?
And I’ll be damned. I think I’d even call this coot handsome. Or at least stately and dignified and that doesn’t happen every day with this species.
California Quail In Utah
It’s my tendency to appreciate native bird species more than I do those that have been introduced but right or wrong I tend to make an exception for the California Quail.
Double-crested Cormorant Wing Flap
There’s twelve images here but this post is really about my experience using Canon’s “new” EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens in combination with a 1.4 extender (teleconverter).
Common Goldeneye – A Wing Flap With An Unusual Twist
Western Grebe Chick Learning Wing-flapping From Dad
I suspect wing-flapping behavior is probably instinctive but I believe this chick was taking its cue from its father.
Pied-billed Grebe – The Wing-flap That Wouldn’t Quit
Ring-necked Duck – A Poorly Named Bird?
Male Redhead – The “Fool Duck”
Male Redheads are a handsome duck and I’ll photograph them every chance I get. Interesting poses are a bonus.
High Steppin’ Coot
A goofy pose when combined with outrageous-looking body parts makes me smile, especially when the subject is an American Coot.
