Burrowing Owl Wearing A Shocking Shade of Lipstick
It isn’t really lipstick of course but that’s exactly what I think of when I look at my photos of this little owl.

One More Reason To Photograph Owls With The Sun Low In The Sky
In the past I’ve discussed the many reasons why I prefer to photograph birds of any species in the few hours after sunrise so I won’t repeat myself here. But yesterday morning I was reminded of yet another reason that applies specifically to owls.
Sibling Short-eared Owl Chicks
Few subjects have more appeal than curious Short-eared Owl youngsters, especially when they’re bobbing their heads into weird positions.
A Meadowlark And A Bump In The Road
I don’t have a lot of “oomph” in me right now so the bird portion of this post will be brief. I don’t like to inject too much personal stuff into my blog but when it begins to affect Feathered Photography I feel like I should come clean.
Lark Sparrow Singing And Rousing
Lark Sparrows returned to Antelope Island some time ago but until two days ago I haven’t been able to get any “clean” shots of them. I can partially blame the growth habits of sagebrush for that.
Willets On The Rocks
Plus yet another Willet mystery but this one involves shadows rather than behavior.
Willet On Sagebrush
Loggerhead Shrike With Prey And In Flight
Plus a surprising reacquisition of focus on the shrike by the 7D Mark II after it took off directly at me.
Northern Flicker – The Most Unusual Takeoff I’ve Ever Photographed
Western Meadowlark Perched And Taking Off
I love a quality takeoff shot so I’ll put up with a less than ideal perch before the bird launches.
Mockingbird Flight Display Photographed In Its Entirety…
…without skipping a beat. This was the first time I’ve been able to accomplish that long-time goal.
Red-tailed Hawk Carrying Food To His Mate At The Nest
Vesper Sparrow On Tintic Quartzite
LBJ’s (little brown jobs) don’t get enough attention from bird photographers, including me on Feathered Photography, so this post is part of my effort to rectify the situation.
Ferruginous Hawk In Flight With A Mountain Background
Things We Need To Think About When Approaching A Bird For Photography
There are many of them of course and this is only one but it’s an important one. Every bird photographer worth his/her salt already knows this on some level but we all need to be reminded, including me. What you’re about to see is ample proof that I’m included on that sad list of those who forget.
