Carp As A Food Source At Farmington Bay WMA
Northern Harrier Throwing Up A ….. Pellet?
This series may be a little too clinical for some but if you enjoy learning about bird biology, raptors in particular, you’ll likely find it of interest.
Male Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey
What to do when horrid lighting conditions make it next to impossible to photograph birds in flight but Short-eared Owls with prey are flying by close?

It’ll take 16 more images to tell the rest of the story that I started yesterday but I thought it was worth telling.
Male American Kestrel – An Aborted Takeoff With Prey
Canvasback Eating A Fish
A behavior I’d never heard of, seen or photographed until last week. I believe this to be a story of adaptability and survival.
My Best Photo(s) Yet Of A Grebe Amputating A Crayfish Claw
