Ol’ Bloody-beak Going After More Prey
I never saw this Burrowing Owl with prey but he always seemed to have a bloody beak and he was usually hungry for more.

The Agony And The Ecstasy Of Bird Photography
As viewers we almost never know what it really took for the photographer to get that shot we like so much.
Great Horned Owl – A Bird I Gambled On And Lost
Photographing birds is often a game of playing the odds. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Short-eared Owl – A Takeoff In Pastels
This past spring and early summer SEO’s were ubiquitous in the Promontory area (“Owl Alley”). It was the most dense and longest-lasting concentration of the species I’ve ever experienced…
Juvenile Burrowing Owl In A Cluttered Setting (and I still like it)
Sometimes I’m OK with a little clutter in my images, especially when the main subject is as cute as this one.
Great Horned Owl In The Bear River Wetlands
This adult Great Horned Owl at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge yesterday morning surprised me on several levels.
Update On The “Barbed Wire Owl” With Current Photo Of It In Rehab
An Owl, Barbed Wire And The (expensive) Solution To My Camera Problems
How’s that for a convoluted, seemingly disjointed title? I’ll try to pull it all together as you proceed through the post.
Barn Owl Hunting In Daylight
Normally Barn Owls are a strictly nocturnal species so photographs of them in flight are difficult to come by. After all, photography does require light.
Snowy Egrets In Flight (and a Long-eared Owl at Bear River)
I don’t post Snowy Egrets very often. Maybe that’s because they’re such a difficult subject to expose properly.
Northern Pygmy Owl With A Vole For Breakfast
Adult Red-tailed Hawk In Flight And A Plug For Rehab Organizations
Chances of photographic success with this hawk when it took off were low but I aimed my lens in its direction anyway.
A Resurgence Of Short-eared Owls In The West?
In my experience Short-eared Owls have been few and far between in several western states for the entire nine years I’ve been photographing birds. Not so this year!
Montana Short-eared Owl In Flight
I’m finding a fair number of Short-eared Owls on this trip to Montana and like our birds in Utah they like to perch on and take off from fence posts. But this male actually took off from the ground.
Eureka! – A Northern Pygmy Owl With Rodent Prey
A lifer of any species will make my week but a Northern Pygmy Owl with prey literally gave me buck fever I was so excited.
