Clipped Or Cut Off Body Parts – In Photography And Otherwise
Amputating body parts in photography is one thing but it’s something else altogether when you do it to yourself. And your guillotine is a very sharp knife instead of a camera.

Camera Burst Rates: How Fast Is ‘Fast Enough’ For Birds?
If you’re not interested in this subject as a photographer I would think many bird lovers would be interested in it as a demonstration of how incredibly fast little birds are.
Downy Woodpecker (perhaps two of them)
Male Yellow Warbler With A “Bug” Taking Off
Not a great shot but for me the degree of difficulty makes it one I was happy to get. I’ve been trying for weeks to get a photo similar to this one, taken 6 days ago in the Wasatch Mountains.
Cedar Waxwing Running In Midair
Or at least that’s what it looks like. A short post today with an image that both amuses and frustrates me.
Nest-building Cedar Waxwings
Yesterday morning I had another supremely challenging session with the nest-building waxwings in the Wasatch Mountains.
Singing Meadowlark – Thinking About Your Background As You Approach The Bird
Monotone Short-eared Owl – But Oh Those Yellow Eyes!
This is far from a typical image from me and to be honest I almost deleted it before I looked at it more carefully.
Mountain Bluebirds – Presumably A Mated Pair
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to get decent shots of Mountain Bluebirds so it was great fun to photograph both a male and a female in the Wasatch Mountains yesterday morning.
Birds Were In A Nesting Frenzy In The Uinta Mountains Yesterday
One More Reason To Photograph Owls With The Sun Low In The Sky
In the past I’ve discussed the many reasons why I prefer to photograph birds of any species in the few hours after sunrise so I won’t repeat myself here. But yesterday morning I was reminded of yet another reason that applies specifically to owls.
Loggerhead Shrike With Prey And In Flight
Plus a surprising reacquisition of focus on the shrike by the 7D Mark II after it took off directly at me.
Western Meadowlark Perched And Taking Off
I love a quality takeoff shot so I’ll put up with a less than ideal perch before the bird launches.
Things We Need To Think About When Approaching A Bird For Photography
There are many of them of course and this is only one but it’s an important one. Every bird photographer worth his/her salt already knows this on some level but we all need to be reminded, including me. What you’re about to see is ample proof that I’m included on that sad list of those who forget.
Barn Swallows Gathering Mud For Their Nests
Yesterday it was Cliff Swallows. To continue the swallow theme, today it’s Barn Swallows playing in the mud.
