My First Decent Burrowing Owl Photos This Year

I seldom photograph Burrowing Owls on Antelope Island anymore so it was fun to find this cooperative bird yesterday morning.

Western Meadowlark On A Buffalo Chip

I kind of dared myself to post this image and now I’m calling my own bluff. And of course the perch is more correctly called a bison chip than a buffalo chip but somehow that just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Great Horned Owl Framed By Old Wood

This owl cost me a lot of dough!

Black-billed Magpies At Their Nest

There’s no middle ground with magpies – most folks seem to either love them or loathe them.

Chukars Are Doing Their Spring Thing Again

For about half of the year most Chukars on Antelope Island are shy and inaccessible in more remote areas of the island but when spring rolls around they come out to play.

Western Grebes – Old And New

Two days ago I visited Bear River MBR on the first full day it was open after being closed because of flooding. It was an interesting preview of things to come.

Golden Eagle In Overhead Flight

This is a perspective on a Golden Eagle that’s new to my blog.

Another Meadowlark Series (but for me this one’s special)

This may be the most humorous series I’ve ever photographed but then my mother always did say I had a warped sense of humor.

A Singing, Posing Meadowlark

I haven’t had this much variety from a Western Meadowlark in a very long time.

“My” Female Kingfisher Is Back!

I think I need to go to the grocery store more often.

Rock Squirrel And Lichens

Occasionally I digress from feathers to fur. This is one of those times.

Cooper’s Hawk With Pigeon Prey

I always carry another camera attached to my 100-400mm lens in my pickup no matter where I go and sometimes it pays off. Doing so allowed me to get this unexpected ten image series that I think is quite interesting.
