American Kestrel Balancing Act
This male stretched every limb he possibly could simultaneously which I thought resulted in an awkward but endearing pose.
Juvenile Burrowing Owls – The Clowns Of The Bird World
Black-chinned Hummingbirds Putting On A Show
Black-chinned aren’t as colorful as the Rufous Hummingbirds I also photographed on these wild flowers but they gave me more interesting poses and behaviors.
Our Western Kingbirds Are Back
