Rufous Red-tailed Hawk Stretching And Casting A Pellet
Male American Kestrel Stretching While Turning On His Perch
Yesterday morning I finally found a few interesting birds in good light. I’m presenting this one in two different compositions because I can’t decide which one I prefer.
Turkey Vultures Stretching And Taking Off Yesterday Morning
Despite the mostly poor light it was an interesting morning for birds and wildlife and I did manage to get some vulture photos I like.
If You Want To Photograph Raptors In Flight Learn To Anticipate Their Takeoff
One of the skills that can be of immense value to the bird photographer (and of interest to birders of every persuasion) is the ability to predict when they might take off.
A Peregrine Falcon To Try My Patience
Persistence and dogged tenacity are often prerequisites of bird photography but even then there’s no guarantee of success.
Fledgling Short-eared Owl Wing Stretch
I continue to make the occasional rookie mistake when photographing birds in the field but this time I still like the results.
Kingfisher Never Losing Hunting Concentration During A Stretch
Not even the need to stretch distracted this female kingfisher from her concentration on the pond in front of her.
An Extremely “Tame” Rough-legged Hawk
The occasional wild raptor is unusually approachable but I’ve rarely had that happen with a Rough-legged Hawk.
Male American Kestrel – An Image Where (Almost) Everything Came Together
Most often on this blog I share my photographic successes but occasionally I can’t resist ranting over one of my near-misses.
Male American Kestrel – A Champion Poser
This male American Kestrel was such an enthusiastic poser that he performed for me for over six minutes.
Western Grebes Posing Up A Storm
This time of year our Western Grebes are pretty laid back. The tensions of breeding season are over…
A Kingbird Kind Of Morning
For the past few days Western Kingbirds have been very active on Antelope Island. Though I’m still trying to interpret some of their behaviors they appear to be in the process of selecting mates and/or nest sites.
Chukar – Wish For It And It May Happen
Recently while photographing birds on Antelope Island I remarked to Mia that I’d like to photograph a Chukar doing a wing-stretch, something I’d only seen once in the past.
Western Meadowlark Posing In The Snow
Western Meadowlarks can be quite approachable when they’re singing on territory in the spring and summer but they’re generally shy at other times. So I was quite surprised yesterday morning when this one allowed a close approach as it preened on a snowy perch.
