Rough-legged Hawk Take-off Series
Yesterday was a good day for raptors in western Utah County as I was able to chalk up eight species.
Category: Diurnal Raptors
Male Northern Harrier Goin’ Nuts In The Wind
Sometimes raptors in flight appear to play in the wind and Northern Harriers seem to enjoy it more than most species.
Peregrine Falcon On A Duck Kill
American Kestrel – An Unusual View Of The Alulae (bastard wings)
Recently I photographed a male American Kestrel in the middle of a wing-stretch and that pose really put his alulae on display.
Juvenile Peregrine Falcon Along The Antelope Island Causeway
Red-tailed Hawk With Nesting Material, In Late October!
Raptors carrying nesting material in late fall is something I rarely see or photograph.
Audubon Center For Birds Of Prey (and an update on Shannon)
Today we took a short break from the hospital and visited the Audubon Center For Birds Of Prey in Maitland, Florida.
Male American Kestrel Trying To Swallow A Frozen Tail
Banking Northern Harrier
Images of banking Northern Harriers don’t come easy but yesterday morning at Farmington Bay I was able to get that shot.
Bald Eagle And Northern Harrier – A Retrospective On An Old Camera And Old Habits
It’s been a very long time since I’ve gone back and looked at some of my earliest images after I started photographing birds. I did so last night and the process was both enlightening and painful
Possible Eastern Red-tailed Hawk (borealis) At Farmington Bay WMA
I don’t believe I’ve ever photographed an Eastern Red-tailed Hawk before so this bird caught my attention.
Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk (and a question of photographic ethics)
Northern Harrier – Surprisingly Similar Images Of The Same Bird In Flight
It isn’t unusual to get almost identical images of a perched bird but it’s another story when they’re in flight.
The Injured Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk
Back-To-Back American Kestrels – Male And Female With Prey
I got relatively close to two kestrels, a male and a female, both with prey, within four minutes. Miracles do happen…
