A Hawk, A Meadowlark And A Kingfisher Engulfed In The Golds Of Fall
The golds of fall come in many tones and shapes, just like the birds I often find surrounded by them.
The Burrowing Owl And The Meadowlark
This Western Meadowlark was decidedly unhappy with the presence of a hunting owl in its territory.
Some Recent Birds (+ a rocket test… yes, really)
Occasionally I like to do a “potpourri post” featuring some of the recent birds I’ve photographed that have fallen through the cracks of my blog.
A Singing Meadowlark Who Then Does A Weird Sideways Takeoff
For me it doesn’t get much better than a meadowlark singing on fresh, green sagebrush in the spring. But in this case it was the takeoff that really attracted my attention.
Sage Thrashers Hunting Bugs On Antelope Island (and the misery of biting gnats)
The island is teeming with bugs right now and nesting Sage Thrashers are taking advantage of the situation.
My First Of Year Swainson’s Hawk And A Meadowlark Singing In The Cold
Western Meadowlark Territorial Display
I finally know the purpose behind this Western Meadowlark behavior. Typically I observe it several times each breeding season but until yesterday I never fully understood its significance.
Western Meadowlark On A Buffalo Chip
I kind of dared myself to post this image and now I’m calling my own bluff. And of course the perch is more correctly called a bison chip than a buffalo chip but somehow that just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Another Meadowlark Series (but for me this one’s special)
This may be the most humorous series I’ve ever photographed but then my mother always did say I had a warped sense of humor.
A Singing, Posing Meadowlark
An Easy Mistake To Make When Photographing Meadowlarks
It isn’t a mistake limited to meadowlarks but I do it far more often with them than with any other species.
Western Meadowlark – They Just Can’t Help But Sing
In springtime meadowlarks are at the mercy of their hormones. No matter what they’re doing they often burst into song right in the middle of it.
Some Recent Birds
Six images, six species.
None of these photos is an award-winner but for disparate reasons each one grabs me just a little and I’ll mention why in this post. All of them were taken in the last several weeks.
