Green-tailed Towhee On A Pretty Perch
My antidote for yesterday’s unattractive (as in ugly) perches.
Yellow Warblers On Thistle
Thistle, especially when flowering, can provide an attractive setting for bird photographs but it does have its challenges.
Burrowing Owl In The Wind On Antelope Island
White-crowned Sparrow – Why Don’t Sparrows Get More Respect?
When it comes to appreciation from humans this species already has two strikes against it when it steps up to the plate. It’s a sparrow and it’s “common”.
A Chickadee Stops To Smell The Flowers
Chukar Calling In Warm Light
There’s many things I like about this shot and only one I don’t. A ratio that good doesn’t happen often enough with this bird photographer.
A Burrowing Owl Amongst The Flowers
I’m an old softie when it comes to owls and wildflowers – especially in combination.
Burrowing Owl – A Romp Through The Flowers
This owl played hopscotch through a sea of flowers in a howling wind on Antelope Island yesterday morning.
Flower Child Chukar
To my eye birds and flowers in a photograph have a natural affinity for each other.
Curlew Landing Amongst The Flowers

Snow, cold, fog, dreary skies, poor light and polluted air – that’s all we’ve had for many days and I’m sick of it! This morning I need a reprieve and hummingbirds will provide it..
Chukar Served With Black Mustard
Some folks wonder why I don’t photograph flowers. Well, I do. When they’re in the background or setting of something with feathers!
A Pleasant Surprise Amongst The Flowers
Parts of Antelope Island are simply covered with tiny purple flowers right now and I often look for opportunities to photograph birds in such a setting.
