A Peregrine Falcon And A Salute To Bob Walters
This is a good time of year to be on the lookout for Peregrine Falcons on Antelope Island, especially along the causeway.

Male American Kestrel At Takeoff And In Flight
Because of their small size and quickness kestrels are the most challenging raptor I attempt to photograph at takeoff.
Belted Kingfisher – Some Poses And A Takeoff Series
I had some luck with another Belted Kingfisher yesterday morning and this time it was a male.
Red-tailed Hawk – Making Lemonade Out Of A Big Fat Lemon
American Bittern Doing A Little Posing
An American Bittern out in the open is an extremely rare occurrence for me (and for most everyone else I suspect).
Coyote – The Shot That Might Have Been (and almost was…)
A Red-tailed Hawk At Takeoff And My Growing Appreciation For “Old Stuff”
Some element-rich images like this one draw me in because there’s so much there to entertain me.
A Ferruginous Hawk And Visual Tension
Prepare yourself because I’m probably going to overanalyze this first image. I can feel it coming…
Barn Owl – Landing And In Flight
I believe this first image may be only time I’ve ever managed a decent shot of an owl of any species during the landing process.
My First Of Year Rough-legged Hawk (+ mergansers galore)
I probably look forward to the return of the Rough-legged Hawk more than I do any other migrating bird.
The Cause Of The Deformed Beaks In Birds I’ve Photographed May Finally Be Known
Over the years I’ve documented a variety of birds with severely deformed beaks including the two examples below. Now we may know the cause of the condition.
Red-tailed Hawk At Takeoff And In Flight – An Eleven Image Series
I took exactly forty shots of this hawk during takeoff and in flight. Eleven of them made the cut to include here, for reasons both good and not so good.
Migrating American Pipits
American Pipits have been migrating through my area for several weeks now so even though they’re common and inconspicuous I think they’re fully deserving of a closer look.
Farmington Barn Owl Perched and In Flight
Three days ago I stopped and talked to friend Jerry Ellison along the refuge road at Farmington and he informed me he’d photographed a cooperative Barn Owl at dawn.
Juvenile Northern Goshawk
This is probably more of a birder’s post than a photographer’s post. But dammit, I was excited to see this hawk!
