White-crowned Sparrow And Fall Colors Of Wild Rose

Finding birds has been tough lately and yesterday was about as discouraging as it gets.

Great Horned Owl Fledgling, Old Wood And Rusty Metal In Warm Light

This image is dripping with nostalgia for me so I hope you’ll allow me to fill in a little of the backstory.

Male Brewer’s Blackbird In Flight

My first time photographing a male of this species in flight. I had to cheat a little to get it the way I want it but I finally got the photo.

Long-tailed Weasel Yesterday At Farmington

My extended weasel drought came to an end yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA.

Bear River Tundra Swan About To Land On Water

This is the time of year I usually see my first Tundra Swans of the season.

Fourteen Image Series Of A Great Blue Heron Taking Off And In Flight

I actually got nine additional photos of this bird in flight but I thought these fourteen were the best ones. They’re all presented in the order they were taken with no skips.

Red-tailed Hawk In A Menacing Flight Posture

It’s the menacing flight posture and expression that appeals to me most.

Northern Mockingbirds Are Still Here In Northern Utah

I’m surprised they haven’t migrated south by now but I’ve seen several of them the last few days in the mountains and on the valley floors

A Touchy Matter Of Gender

With Feathered Photography I face a dilemma when choosing pronouns referencing the sex of individual birds. In a recent comment a reader took exception to the way I handle it so I think it’s high time I explain why I deal with it the way I do. I’ve done it before in comments but never as the subject of a blog post.
