A bird potpourri\u00a0of sorts, just to give you a feeling for some of the other birds I’ve been photographing in the last ten days.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing spectacular here, no interesting behaviors, unusual poses or rare species.\u00a0But I think all of them are nice images that deserve to be seen. And there’s a variety of species which doesn’t happen often on my blog. I’m a little embarrassed by the camera settings in a couple of them but if I like the photo I guess that takes a back seat.<\/p>\n

A Greater Yellowlegs feeding at the 4-way at Farmington Bay. I have many photos of this bird with more even light on the body but in this case I like the graded light from\u00a0front to back. And the water drop at the tip of the bill.<\/p>\n

A Wild Turkey in the Stansbury Mountains. This bird was one of a small flock but most of them kept their heads down as they were feeding. I think this bird may have been\u00a0a sentry because it spent much of its time with its head up in an alert pose. I didn’t get many shots that didn’t have other\u00a0turkeys messing up the background.<\/p>\n

A Gadwall drake in breeding plumage on Glover Pond in Farmington. This bird came in very close and there’s incredible detail in the high-resolution image. A bit more of a head turn toward me would have been nice.<\/p>\n

A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk turning on its perch prior to takeoff. It was using its wings during the process of turning\u00a0to maintain stability on the awkward and prickly\u00a0perch. I posted other photos of this bird previously but not this one.<\/p>\n

I’m still waiting for birds to pick up a little around here but the adult Northern Goshawk I spotted two days ago gives me hope. And it’s looking like we might have a pretty good winter for Ferruginous Hawks.<\/p>\n

Now if some of them will just cooperate…<\/p>\n
