A Strategy For Photographing Cliff Swallows In Flight
Most bird photographers who try to photograph swallows in flight give up in frustration and I tried for several years before doing exactly that. They’re just too darned fast and erratic in the air.
A Warbler And A Kinglet From Yesterday Morning
Short-eared Owl With Prey Immediately After Landing
Some Interesting Swainson’s Hawk Mating And Feeding Behaviors
Flower-eating Chukar
This Chukar was hungry and he had a strong penchant for flowers. In fact he really stuffed himself on them.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey
Short-eared Owls have been unusually difficult for me to come by this year so yesterday morning I was happy to catch this presumed male in flight with prey (a vole).
Antelope Island Lark Sparrows (plus a devastating house fire behind my home)
Yesterday on Antelope Island I got my first Lark Sparrow photos of the year but I paid the “no-see-um” price.
A Favorite Burrowing Owl Image Of All Time
Out of uncounted thousands of Burrowing Owl photos I’ve taken over the years and many hundreds I haven’t deleted this image is one of my 3 favorites.
A Potpourri Of Recent Birds And Critters
It’s been a while since I published a potpourri post so I figured it was about time. Each of the following 8 images was taken over the last 8 days in places like Bear River MBR, Antelope Island, Farmington Bay WMA or other favorite haunts of mine in northern Utah.
Burrowing Owl Giving Me A Dubious Look
This is the same look I’d get from my mother when she caught me in the cookie jar as a little kid. I still remember that look.
Barn Swallow On Emergent Wild Rose
This recent Barn Swallow photo just might be my personal favorite of the species I’ve ever taken. It took me a while to come to that conclusion but the more I study it the more I like it.
Diving Kingfisher – A Work In Progress
Kingfishers diving from their fishing perches are among the most difficult photos I’ve attempted to get.
A Serendipitous Cooper’s Hawk Yesterday In The Wasatch Mountains
Plus a shocking recent example of cheating in a prestigious nature photography contest.
Western Meadowlark – How Do They Do That?
Meadowlarks often perform a pretty neat little trick while they’re landing on sagebrush.
