Coyote At Sunrise
I have a soft spot for coyotes that goes all the way back to my time growing up on the Montana farm.
Rough-legged Hawks
In my view Rough-legged Hawks are spectacularly handsome raptors whether perched or in flight, even in poor light.
A Meadowlark Puffball In The Snow
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
This species is the only truly migratory gnatcatcher so I expected ours to be gone by now but yesterday morning they were still around in good numbers.
Very Late Breeding Western Grebes
Western Grebes are known to have an extended breeding season but this is getting ridiculous.
Magpies Finding Insects To Eat In Northern Utah In January!
Northern Harrier – Wing Extension And Tail Flare
Birds Being Fooled By Our Warm Winter?
Based on what I’m seeing in the field I’m wondering if some birds aren’t being tricked into spring activities too early.
Joshua Trees, A Red-tailed Hawk And Waiting For The Moon
My recent camping trip to the Mojave Desert of southwestern Utah was slow on birds but I didn’t come home “skunked” either.
What’s Happening To Our Kestrels?
Recently I’ve been reading some disturbing reports about the decline of the American Kestrel in North America. And I’m talking about a drastic decline! I’ve speculated about just that in a previous post, based on my own recent observations in northern Utah but I’ve been hoping that what I’ve noticed is only a local and temporary phenomenon. Apparently it isn’t.
