Northern Harrier Takeoff Series
Normally I try to avoid posting photos of the same species to my blog on consecutive days but this series, taken yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA, called for an exception. The following four photos are consecutive shots in a burst without any skips.
Northern Harrier In Flight With An Odd Looking Alula
I pay attention to the alulae in my photos of birds in flight and this one caught my eye.
American Kestrel Trying To Regain His Balance In The Wind
An agile and athletically confident falcon in a rare moment of physical awkwardness and indecision.
Northern Harrier Landing Vertically On Prey In The Wind
Male American Kestrel In Hoarfrost

Male American Kestrel Trying To Balance In The Wind
Good light and a cooperative bird is a combination I haven’t had in a very long time but it happened yesterday at Bear River MBR.
Food For Thought, And For Raptors
An attempt to quantify the beneficial effects of raptors in rodent control. Gimme some numbers please!
Rough-legged Hawk – The (very) Big Yawn

Peregrine Falcon In Hoarfrost
Preening Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk
A handsome raptor in an attractive natural setting performing an interesting behavior.
Northern Harrier Flight Series
Ok, it’s past time to fully address the elephant in the room when it comes to my photography.
Northern Harrier Twisting Flight Posture
My photos in the cold yesterday morning were actually sharp! Thanks to a friend I may (or may not) have arrived at a partial solution to my problem with soft photos while shooting from my pickup in unusually cold temperatures.
Prairie Falcon With A Few Surprises In Store For Me
Bird photographers never know what we’ll see in our photos that we didn’t notice in the field. My shots of this Prairie Falcon taken two days ago surprised me in more ways than one.
