Rough-legged Hawks
In my view Rough-legged Hawks are spectacularly handsome raptors whether perched or in flight, even in poor light.

Wet Red-tailed Hawk Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
Forster’s Terns Fishing In Flight And Emerging With A Fish
It’s been two years since I’ve posted images of this species but yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA I had some luck with them (yes, the gate at Farmington is now open).
Wilson’s Warbler On Sumac Berries
This black-capped rascal was one of the most exasperating birds I ever aimed my lens at.
My Three Brushes With Death As A Toddler And Young Boy
Immature Red-tailed Hawk With A Rodent
The Northern Flicker That Could Have Been
Merlin in Deep Shade
Plus some of the challenges I’m facing right now that affect my blogging and may do so in the future.
Immature Swainson’s Hawk Amongst The Sunflowers
There are more very similar colors in these photos than you can shake the proverbial stick at.
Chipmunk Shenanigans
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Rodent Prey
Largely because of all I learned from him this may be my favorite individual bird I’ve ever photographed.
Yesterday’s Turkey Vultures
I don’t post photos of Turkey Vultures often but yesterday, International Vulture Awareness Day, was perfect timing to have an encounter with them.
Northern Harrier – How Gaze Stabilization Saved An Interesting Photo
It took me years to realize what saved this image. Prepare yourself for some photo and bird geekiness as I explain.
Barn Swallow Taking Off
Some might say it’s only a swallow but I like the image a lot (and I wouldn’t say “only”.)

Plus… Yesterday morning I finally spent some time with the Brown Pelican on the Bear River that has caused so much excitment lately in the birding community.
