Whitewash
As a bird photographer my attitude toward excrement-stained perches has evolved, especially when it involves raptors.
Red-tailed Hawk “Dancing” On Juniper Berries
Birds In Snow
Depending on conditions snow can seem to be a magic wonderland for birds to frolic in or be a dire threat to their survival.
A Gluttonous Red-tailed Hawk
When food is plentiful raptors take advantage of the situation. Tomorrow things might be different.
Birds In A Christmas Morning Snowstorm
It’s been my Christmas tradition for years to spend part of the morning photographing birds. I usually have the place (wherever it might be) mostly to myself and personally I find communing with nature on Christmas morning to be quite appropriate and fulfilling. And yesterday’s snowstorm was pure delight.
Red-tailed Hawk And The Demise Of A Vole
This juvenile Red-tailed Hawk had a fine, furry, Farmington feast for breakfast this morning.
Raptor Images Demonstrating That “Little Things” Can Make Or Break A Shot
The little things that so often negatively impact the appeal of an image often drive me to distraction.
Red-tailed Hawk Just Prior To Reaching Prey
This first photo isn’t a classic buteo flight shot but I believe it’s fairly unique for a non-baited image. I’ve occasionally been able to capture raptors as they’re about to land on a predictable perch but this is the first and only time I’ve been able to get a shot I like pretty well of a raptor as it’s about to (or attempt to) “land” on prey it’s seen from a far-away perch.
Red-tailed Hawk At 40 MPH
Red-tailed Hawk Negotiating Obstacles At Take-off
I’m often surprised and impressed by the dexterity and athleticism of larger raptors as they take off through a maze of tree branches or other obstructions.
Red-tailed Hawk (and a new blog post, finally!)
I love the coloration of this bird and always appreciate getting wispy clouds mixed with blue sky in the background.
East Canyon Red-tailed Hawk
I spent yesterday morning in the Wasatch Mountains looking for raptors and other birds. I had my best luck with Red-tailed Hawks.
Joshua Trees, A Red-tailed Hawk And Waiting For The Moon
My recent camping trip to the Mojave Desert of southwestern Utah was slow on birds but I didn’t come home “skunked” either.
An Acrobatic Red-tailed Hawk
Raptors sometimes pull some pretty crazy maneuvers during take-off (the last 9 images in this post are sequential with no images in the sequence left out).
