Some Recent Birds And Things
A cross section of some of the subjects I’ll aim my lens at while I’m in the field. With varying degrees of success.
Category: Diurnal Raptors
Yesterday’s Cooperative (at the last second) Peregrine Falcon
Once in a great while in bird photography things go unexpectedly right instead of unexpectedly wrong.
Are You Ready To Ditch The Name “Cooper’s Hawk” And Call It Something Else?
No fewer than 149 North American bird species named after people may soon acquire new names. The Cooper’s Hawk is only one of them.
Adult Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight
Swainson’s Hawk Nestled In Sagebrush
Adult Bald Eagle In Flight Against A Dark Mountain Background
I love getting our shaded Wasatch Mountains in the background when I’m photographing Bald Eagles in flight.
Northern Harrier Photos With A Shared Flaw
Male American Kestrel Getting Some Tail
When you’re a small falcon trying to survive in the wild you can’t be too picky about what you’re willing to eat.
Recent Avian Potpourri
My First Turkey Vulture Of The Year And The First One I Ever Photographed Up Close
Don’t be surprised if there’s some down time for Feathered Photography in the fairly near future.
Red-tailed Hawk Series – Takeoff And In Flight
Junipers and their berries are always a welcome addition to the settings of my photos.
A Massive Ferruginous Hawk Nest, Including A Chick
And to think that we thought Red-tailed Hawk nests take a lot of work to build. A typical red-tail nest pales in comparison to this one.
Male Red-tailed Hawk Struggling To Gather Nesting Material
Hard work and a stubborn streak eventually paid off when the male of the pair went looking for suitable nest-building materials.
Ferruginous Hawk Carrying Unusual Nesting Material Straight At Me
Mated Red-tailed Hawks And The Fleeting Nature Of The ‘Golden Hour’
Harsh midday light is not the photographer’s friend but the warm glow of the ‘golden hour’ is transitory and often elusive, especially if you aren’t a ‘morning person’.
