A Turkey Vulture Kind Of Morning
The Genus name Cathartes means “purifier” and on this morning the Turkey Vultures were working hard at deserving the moniker.
Month: August 2016
Long-billed Curlew Performing Rhynchokinesis
The Elusive Wilson’s Snipe
The preferred habitat of the Wilson’s Snipe often isn’t pretty but they’re elusive enough that I’ll photograph them anywhere I get the chance.
Golden Eagle In An Unusual Displacement Of A Cooper’s Hawk
Raptors often displace other raptors from perches – it’s just something they do. But this time was a little different.
Calliope Hummingbird In A Natural Setting
I have fewer opportunities with hummingbirds than many bird photographers because I won’t photograph them at setups (or flash them). I much prefer a natural setting, natural light and behaviors that haven’t been coerced.
A Passel Of Partridges
I rarely see Gray Partridges in Utah. Nearly all of my opportunities with them have been on the family farm in Montana so yesterday morning it was a real treat to find a family group of them at Golden Spike National Historic Site here in Utah.
Bald Eagles And The “Good Old Days” At Farmington Bay
This morning I felt like reminiscing a little about the old days at Farmington Bay and the Bald Eagles there in winter.
Juvenile Burrowing Owl In A Cluttered Setting (and I still like it)
Sometimes I’m OK with a little clutter in my images, especially when the main subject is as cute as this one.
Birds “Wearing To Dark” – Chukars and Loggerhead Shrikes
American Avocet With A Death Grip On A Rival
No deaths or injuries actually occurred but for a few moments it sure looked like they might.
Pelicans Flying Tandem
Big, lumbering pelicans don’t provide many dynamic flight postures so having two or more birds in the frame can increase your chances of getting something else that the viewer finds visually appealing.
Great Horned Owl In The Bear River Wetlands
This adult Great Horned Owl at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge yesterday morning surprised me on several levels.
Update On The “Barbed Wire Owl” With Current Photo Of It In Rehab
This Is Why I Hate Low-flying Aircraft In The Marshes
An Owl, Barbed Wire And The (expensive) Solution To My Camera Problems
How’s that for a convoluted, seemingly disjointed title? I’ll try to pull it all together as you proceed through the post.
