Long-billed Curlew On Sagebrush
Sagebrush holds a special attraction for me so I’m particularly fond of images of birds perched on it.
Category: Birds
Landing Black-billed Magpie
I like these images not because they’re flashy but because they’re just a little bit different.
Peregrine Falcon Along The Antelope Island Causeway Yesterday Morning
It’s been a long time since I’ve found a mostly cooperative Peregrine Falcon on or near Antelope Island.
American Avocets – An Awkward Mating Moment
It’ll come as no surprise to many of us that sex isn’t always a bed of roses. That sad fact also applies to birds.
Some Pet Peeves Regarding Birds And Terminology
I suspect all of us have personal pet peeves about things that are important to us. These are some of mine regarding birds and the words that some people apply to them.
Killdeer – Fire And Ice (plus a hawk mystery)
Fire and ice on the first day of spring – a setting that’s just a little bit different for this Killdeer.
Sage Thrasher – A True Sign Of Spring
When Long-billed Curlews, Lark Sparrows and Sage Thrashers show up on Antelope Island I know the seasons are changing and yesterday I saw or heard all three species.
Northern Harrier – Cropped and Uncropped, By Request
My First Mountain Bluebird Of The Year
I’ve been trying to get close to Mountain Bluebirds here in Wayne County for three days now without a lick of success. But yesterday I tried a different tack and found a single cooperative bird.
Short-eared Owls And Handedness
Meadowlark Takeoff And Another Rookie Mistake
Magpie Takeoff (and one of the hazards of sharpening images)
As I was working this image up I noticed a processing challenge that often rears its ugly head with dark subjects against lighter backgrounds.
Western Kingbirds And Old Memories
My strongest early memory of Western Kingbirds goes back to the late 70’s and early 80’s when I was teaching summer classes (Junior Science Academy) for the Utah Museum of Natural History.
I Like To Practice Action Shots On Horned Larks
Action shots of small birds are difficult to pull off well, partly because they’re so incredibly fast
The Red-tailed Hawks Are Back At The Nest
I’ve been watching a Red-tailed Hawk nest in remote Tooele County for about five years now.
