A PB Grebe Behavior Explosion On The Farmington 4-Way Pond
These grebes are typically pretty lethargic this time of year but on this morning things went a little nuts for a few minutes.
A Few Red-tailed Hawk Images I Like
Two Years Ago Today – Damn, It Was Cold!
My images can be similar to a weather diary and our recent unseasonably warm temperatures made me curious about the weather on this date in previous years so I did some image research.
A Tale Of Two Mule Deer Bucks In Rut
Last month I photographed two Mule Deer bucks that showed decidedly different effects of the rut.
A Short-eared Owl Flying Right At Me
I think this owl might have been trying to intimidate me or maybe he was just curious about my pickup. Either way he sure did come in close.
Black-billed Magpie – An Image That May Have Taught Me Something
A High-key Flicker
“High-key” images have a predominance of light or bright tones which in this case were provided by an ice and snow covered pond in the background.
A Red-tailed Hawk And A Vole – Before And After The Meal
Don’t worry, there’s nothing gory in this short “before and after the meal” series. And I’ve also included a bit of a raptor biology lesson.
Northern Shoveler Just Before Splash-down
I’ll admit to often ignoring Northern Shovelers while they’re on the water but I enjoy the challenge of photographing them in flight.
A Gray Ghost And The Convoluted Path To The Choice Of A Blog Post Subject
This is how my blog post subjects sometimes originate – out of the deep blue sky and from a completely unexpected source.
A Couple Of Magpie Take-offs
Northern Harrier Hunting Goose Egg Island
Northern Harriers often hunt the perimeter of Goose Egg Island (really only a hill and no longer an island) at Farmington Bay MBA, particularly its northern side along the creek.
Male American Kestrel – A Champion Poser
This male American Kestrel was such an enthusiastic poser that he performed for me for over six minutes.
Golden Eagle – A Magnificent Bird But Still A Nemesis
Golden Eagles are my #1 photographic quarry. I’d rather get a magnificent flight shot of one of these regal birds than any other species I can think of and that includes other raptors like Snowy Owls and Gyrfalcons.
