Northern Flickers With A Little Competition For The Nest Cavity
Relative size apparently makes no difference when birds are competing for nesting cavities. In this case the Northern Flickers are twelve times larger than the house wren (130 g vs 11 g).
Ferruginous Hawk In Flight With Atypical Nesting Material
Pronghorn Running 50+ MPH (while I’m driving 25 and taking the shot)
Fighting Tree Swallows
Photographing fighting tree swallows in very low light is an exercise in frustration.
Idaho Short-eared Owl
Technically this is an Idaho owl but I found it yesterday morning only about a mile from the Montana border.
Cassin’s Finch
Aloof Red-tailed Hawk
The Challenges Of Posting From The Road
I never know what might happen to my daily blog posting schedule once I reach the wilds of Montana on one of my many camping trips to my home state.
Harrier Takeoff – I’ve Never Seen A Raptor Wing Twisted Into Such A Shape
Birds and their feathers continue to surprise me with what they can do when they need to.
Short-eared Owl Fledglings Galore!
I’ve said before that this has been a banner year for breeding Short-eared Owls in northern Utah. Here’s more proof.
Landing Barn Swallow – Are You Fooled By What’s Happening Here?
Sometimes I have to rely on subtle clues to figure out what’s really going on in my own images. And I was there!
Burrowing Owl Takeoff (and my first fledglings of the year)
I’ve been watching for Burrowing Owl chicks in northern Utah for a couple of weeks with no luck until yesterday morning.
Short-eared Owl Takeoff In My Direction
One of the many variables one must deal with when photographing birds at takeoff is direction of flight.
Fledgling Short-eared Owl
I’ve never had such a good look at a fledgling Short-eared Owl as I did yesterday morning. At this stage they look quite different from the adults.
