Rough-legged Hawk – The (very) Big Yawn
The Next Shot In The Series After Yesterday’s Kingfisher Photo
Male Belted Kingfisher Taking Off After A Fish
I know next to nothing about Oriental art but does this photo from yesterday morning have any resemblance to traditional Japanese prints?
Male Common Goldeneye And An Illusion Of Softness
In bird photography a variety of factors can cause our birds to appear soft when they’re actually sharp or at least sharper than they appear to be.
Canada Goose Landing In A Snowstorm
A Northern Harrier In Flight And That Elusive Catch Light
Catch lights in the eyes of our subjects are important far beyond their diminutive size but they’re both fickle and elusive.
Peregrine Falcon In Hoarfrost
Preening Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk
A handsome raptor in an attractive natural setting performing an interesting behavior.
Barn Owl In Flight Against A Snowy Mountain Background
Midwinter is Barn Owl “season” in northern Utah but it can also be an extremely grim time of year for them.
A Common Raven And His Shadow At Takeoff
A common species in both name and occurrence but around here at least ravens are uncommonly difficult to photograph well.
What Christmas Means (and doesn’t mean) To Me
Christmas means a lot to me but my take on this time of year is likely quite different from yours.
A Speed Skating Coot
The huge, goofy-looking feet of coots aren’t made to run on anything, least of all incredibly slick ice.
Northern Harrier Flight Series
Ok, it’s past time to fully address the elephant in the room when it comes to my photography.
A Couple Of Chickadees Doing What Chickadees Do
