Male Ring-necked Pheasant Displaying In A Rustic Setting
Burrowing Owl – Nonchalance In The Presence Of Danger
Burrowing Owls are like humans. When they’re teenagers they think they’re invincible.
Pronghorn Fawn Trotting Like A Horse
A Hugely Coincidental Encounter With A Juvenile Short-eared Owl
Young Short-eared Owl Experimenting With Its Eyesight?
It’s often a fool’s errand to assign motivation to unexplained bird behaviors so in this case I won’t make any claims. But I have to wonder if this young owl might have been experimenting with its eyesight.

Update On The “Barbed Wire Owl” With Current Photo Of It In Rehab
An Owl, Barbed Wire And The (expensive) Solution To My Camera Problems

Adult Red-tailed Hawk In Flight And A Plug For Rehab Organizations

A Pronghorn Fawn And A Near-disaster With Barbed Wire
I’m growing weary of featuring wildlife encounters with barbed wire on my blog and I’m sure some of my readers are too (that’s one of the reasons I’ve put this post off for over a month).

Short-eared Owl Siblings Parallaxing (and an update on the owl hung up on barbed wire)
Normally it’s my practice to avoid posting the same species two days in a row. But in celebration of the (unexpected) good news about the juvenile Short-eared Owl we rescued from barbed wire two days ago I decided to make an exception. After all, I think we all prefer our owls happy and acting normally rather than hanging from barbed wire and in despair.
Short-eared Owl Fledglings Galore!
I’ve said before that this has been a banner year for breeding Short-eared Owls in northern Utah. Here’s more proof.
Rustic Scenes Of A Short-eared Owl In Cool Light
Generally I prefer warm light on my subjects but you don’t have that option when it’s cloudy and occasionally I like the results anyway.
