Male American Kestrel – Blue On Blue
Directly or indirectly I learned at least three important lessons about photography from this beautiful male kestrel.

I encountered this eagle two weeks ago in the Promontory Mountains of northern Utah.
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff Series, By Request
I was delighted to get so many sharp shots of this Red-tailed Hawk during and after takeoff.

Some Red-tailed Hawks become quite tolerant of human activities but for me this one stood out.
Red-tailed Hawk And An Unusual View Of The Tetons
Finally – Another Approachable Prairie Falcon
It’s been over three years since I’ve been able to closely approach a Prairie Falcon in the Centennial Valley but yesterday it finally happened again.
Landing Red-tailed Hawk
Part of the reason I like the photo is because we don’t see many shots of landing raptors.
Ferruginous Hawks And Wilderness Vistas Await Me
Clumsy Young Prairie Falcon In Low Light
It’s rare for a Prairie Falcon to allow a close approach but this young bird was an exception.
