Black-chinned Hummingbirds Putting On A Show
Black-chinned aren’t as colorful as the Rufous Hummingbirds I also photographed on these wild flowers but they gave me more interesting poses and behaviors.
Category: Behaviors
Magpie Hunting Insects On The Back Of A Bison
Weathering The Storm
Current events in Florida have me thinking about storms and survival for both humans and birds.
A Merlin With Meadowlark Prey
This series, which includes both before and after photos, dramatically illustrates the effects of fog on our images.
Fledgling Red-tailed Hawk Playing Around On The Rocks
Very young raptors do a lot of crazy stuff when they’re still trying to learn the ropes.
Swainson’s Hawk Throwing A Pellet
Forster’s Tern In Flight With A Fish (+ dealing with the vagaries of bird photography)
Operator error and lack of needed skills are probably the most common causes of screwed up action/flight shots of birds but there are other villains we have absolutely no control over.
Black-chinned Hummingbird – It’s Often The “Little Things” That Make An Image
A Twitchy Marsh Wren Making A Completely Vertical Takeoff
Forster’s Tern – Moment Of Impact (almost)
This is the closest I’ve come (so far) to catching the moment of impact of a tern diving for fish and it’s pretty darned close.
Three Image Sequence Of A Forster’s Tern Just After Emerging With A Fish
Any photography skills I may have were definitely tested yesterday morning as I attempted to photograph terns coming out of the water with fish.
Barn Swallow In Flight Feeding A Fledgling
An Interesting Observation Using Consecutive Photos Of A Hummingbird In Flight
Northern Flicker – The Big Lean…
A Confrontation Between A Hummingbird And A Skipper
Perhaps this hummingbird was getting tired of being pushed around by monarch butterflies and took its frustrations out on this little guy.
