Barn Owl Flight Series – From Small In The Frame To Frame-filling
I’ve never before been able to get this many sharp images of a bird in flight in a single pass.

Juvenile Peregrine Falcon (plus a look at the falcon “nostril cone”)
I’ve seen a fair number of Peregrine and Prairie Falcons on Antelope Island this winter but this is the only one that hasn’t proven elusive.
Magpies Building Nests Already And Ice-fishing Herons
I photographed two interesting bird behaviors yesterday morning on Antelope Island and at Farmington Bay WMA.
A Series Of 5 Images Of A Bald Eagle On Landing Approach
I enjoy seeing the flight adjustments made by a large raptor as it comes in to land.
A Cooperative Barn Owl In Flight
In many of my images of this Barn Owl it was coming straight at me but in this series I was able to get a quartering angle on the bird.
White-lined Sphinx Moths In Flight
When I bought my 500mm lens I never imagined that one day I’d be using that monster to photograph insects in flight.
In Defense Of Scavengers
Short-eared Owl With Prey And Resting After Hunting
It’s barely the New Year but I’m already weary of snow and cold so there’s a change of pace this morning provided by a Short-eared Owl, flowers and the color green.
26 Pied-billed Grebes In A Struggle To Survive A Cold Spell
When temperatures get this cold and nearly all fresh water freezes up some bird species are at a distinct disadvantage. Pied-billed Grebes are among them.
Bald Eagle – A Dramatic Illustration Of The Effects Of Warm Light
A Shrike, A Coyote And A Couple Of Lucky Rabbit’s Feet
For me most of these shots from yesterday morning on Antelope Island have symbolic significance for the new year.
Three Consecutive Shots Of A Barn Owl In Flight
This Barn Owl was hunting near the road in front of me so I pulled over and angled my pickup for a lucky shot or two just in case the bird came my way.
American Kestrel Potpourri
Several readers have said recently that they’d like to see occasional images from my archives. These American Kestrel photos are my attempt to deliver on that request.
A Clumsy Bald Eagle With (and then without) Prey
The occasional Bald Eagle lurks near the west end of the Antelope Island causeway for good reason – lots of potential prey. The open water near the bridge attracts a variety of waterfowl so falcons and eagles are sometimes seen in the area.
Bear River Barn Owl, Perched And In Flight
When it’s this cold and snowy Barn Owls are flying during daytime over much of northern Utah. They’re often not easy to find but when you do locate one they can be fairly cooperative.
