An Angry, Frustrated And Frightened Barn Swallow
Have you ever accidentally (or on purpose, c’mon – admit it!) had your fingers stuck together by superglue? If so this swallow knows how you felt.

Male Common Goldeneye Becoming Boxed In By An Ice Trap
I’ve documented a relatively insignificant but interesting and even amusing event in the life of a bird and I even managed to get a shot that I often attempt but rarely get with this species.
Ferruginous Hawk Throwing A Pellet
In the past I’ve photographed many buteo species regurgitating pellets but until two days ago I’d never done it with a Ferruginous Hawk. And the aftermath of this event was entertaining for me and perhaps for the hawk too. I’d never seen it happen before and I have to wonder if the hawk had.
Double-crested Cormorants Doing What Cormorants Do
Sage Thrasher Regurgitating A Sumac Pit
Fledgling Red-tailed Hawk ‘Walking The Pipe’ For The Third Time
And this time she did it so well she eventually quit walking and simply flew the last leg of it.
The Downy Woodpecker And The Feather
Western Grebe With Chick Hitchhikers Being ‘Cute’
Pied-billed Grebe – Dive! Dive!
Pardon my submarine reference in the title but I’m betting many of my readers are old enough to remember those old WWII movies.
I seldom see Pied-billed Grebes use this unique diving method but it always amuses me when I do. I’ve reported on this behavior before but those were different photos and this is a different grebe.
Very Young Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk Learning To “Walk The Pipe”
This is one of two young siblings “walking the pipe” as it tries to develop its coordination. A year ago I posted photos of one of them doing this but all 9 of these images are new to my blog.
Eastern Kingbird Weirdness
Plus a lifer for me – a Snowy Plover at Bear River MBR yesterday. And an update on Dr. Talamy’s “What Do Birds Eat?” project.
Western Grebes – No Room On The Boat
Western Grebe chicks are both adorable and annoying, probably for their parents and I’m sure for me.
Sibling Short-eared Owl Chicks
Few subjects have more appeal than curious Short-eared Owl youngsters, especially when they’re bobbing their heads into weird positions.
Dripping-wet Uinta Ground Squirrel Eating And Then Drying Himself Off
Yesterday morning I wanted a change in venue so I headed for the Wasatch Mountains east of Salt Lake City. This cute little Uinta Ground Squirrel entertained me for about 15 minutes with its behaviors and antics.
Western Meadowlark – How Do They Do That?
Meadowlarks often perform a pretty neat little trick while they’re landing on sagebrush.
