Five Image Series Of A Rousing Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Yellow-rumped Warbler (and the pervasiveness of fake nature photography)
As I mentioned yesterday I’ve been reexamining some of my expectations of my own photography but some things will never change and this is one of them.
Perhaps The Darkest Short-eared Owl I’ve Ever Photographed
And temporarily (at least) discarding one of my own “rules” about what I like and don’t like in my photographs.
A Snot And Spit-drinking Cowbird
For any who may be disturbed by the crassness of my title you have my permission to substitute mucus and saliva for the offending two words…
Male American Kestrel Eating A Grasshopper
Red-winged Blackbird Trying To Get At Those Pesky Sunflower Seeds
The seeds were still on the wild plants and they weren’t easy to reach which resulted in some fun photos.
Belted Kingfisher Takeoff And Flight Series
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
This species is the only truly migratory gnatcatcher so I expected ours to be gone by now but yesterday morning they were still around in good numbers.
Male American Kestrel – Serendipity Happens!
Sometimes good things come to those who wait. And if you’re lucky it might even be a handsome little falcon.
Kingfishers In Flight (+ My First Rough-legged Hawks Of The Year)
The “Hover Pounce” Hunting Technique Of Northern Harriers
A Kingfisher And….. A Cop
After so many kingfisher posts recently it was my intention to post a different species today. However, events of yesterday warranted otherwise. Those events include “my” male Belted Kingfisher being cooperative again, several fascinating kingfisher behaviors and an unexpected and potentially very unpleasant encounter with a local cop..
My Highest Quality Kingfisher Images Yet
Northern Harrier Beginning A Banking Turn
Decent harrier photos are hard for me to come by this time of year so yesterday at Farmington Bay WMA I was pleasantly surprised when this one flew in fairly close.
