Avian potpourri from here in northern Utah over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n

None of these photos is a prize winner but most are reasonably good shots and I think each one is of interest in one way or another. Perhaps their primary strength is as a group, documenting some of the variety of birds I’ve photographed over the last 14 days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Green-tailed Towhee singing on territory in typical habitat for the species, thus the jumble of branches all around him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the adult Red-tailed Hawks from ‘nest B’ enjoying some morning sun near the top of a steep slope.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A recently fledged Mountain Bluebird begging for food from its nearby parents. A pretty bird on an ugly perch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A male Lazuli Bunting feeding on tall grass seeds near a mountain stream.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A calling Gray Catbird. I always enjoy getting a glimpse of their rufous undertail coverts which are usually hidden from view.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A far away Golden Eagle atop a small mountain. Any sighting of a Golden Eagle in wild country makes my day, no matter how distant..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A handsome Mourning Dove on rusty barbed wire. I like the similar tones throughout the image and the graphic lines provided by the wire with the dove diagonal to it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ultimate butt shot from a Yellow Warbler to conclude today’s post.<\/p>\n

I notice a dearth of shorebirds and waders in this collection. I need to spread my wings and explore some birding spots I haven’t visited for a while.<\/p>\n
