Red-breasted Nuthatch Working Over Dougas Fir Cones For Seeds
Last year in this general location in the mountains I could only get harsh sidelight on the feeding nuthatches but yesterday morning I had a great light angle. It made a big difference.
Greater Yellowlegs With A Fish
Prairie Falcon Trying To Drag Heavy Prey
Dragging her next meal over all the bumpy obstacles was almost too much for the struggling falcon.
Northern Flicker – A Very Long Way To Climb For Such A Small Meal
It was a round trip journey so it must have consumed more energy than she obtained from the snack.
A Persistent And Acrobatic Townsend’s Solitaire In Pursuit Of A Meal
Snowy Egret Potpourri
Adult White-crowned Sparrow Feasting On Rabbitbrush Seeds
I probably don’t give sparrows their due on my blog so it’s time to make amends. This species is among my favorites, especially the adults.
Snowy Egret Stalking And Striking At A… I Don’t Know What It Is!
I always enjoy mysteries in my photos like this one, especially when they involve bird behaviors. And sometimes my readers even solve them for me.
Wilson’s Snipes At Farmington Bay WMA Yesterday Morning
Forster’s Terns Fishing In Flight And Emerging With A Fish
It’s been two years since I’ve posted images of this species but yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA I had some luck with them (yes, the gate at Farmington is now open).
Immature Red-tailed Hawk With A Rodent
Goldfinches, Woodpeckers And A Stem From Hell
I suppose yesterday could be called a comedy of errors but I didn’t think it was funny.
Yesterday’s Red-tailed Hawk
Plus… Is backyard bird feeding comparable to the unethical and often illegal practice of baiting raptors? Yesterday’s post caused at least some confusion on that subject so I’d like to set the record straight.
A Fruit-eating Yellow Warbler
Yellow Warblers are known to eat insects and spiders almost exclusively. This one didn’t get the message.
