For the past several weeks I’ve been receiving almost daily requests for the current and anticipated Bald Eagle situation at Farmington Bay WMA so this morning I’ve decided to be a little proactive with a blog post that covers most everything I know on the subject.
Burrowing Owls are “supposed” to migrate out of Utah during winter but yesterday I photographed one up close on Antelope Island that apparently didn’t read the book.
Changes in light in a very short time can have a dramatic effect on our images. The phenomenon tends to be well understood by landscape photographers but it can have a similar impact in wildlife photography.
I’ve spent a lot of time over the years watching owls – Great Horned, Burrowing and Short-eared especially and I’ve never seen one eating its own feathers.
Owls are known for their inscrutable look – their mysterious and enigmatic demeanor. This Great Horned Owl and I spent quite a while trying to figure each other out.
