Kestrel – You Never Know When You’ll Get A Nice Flight Shot (or 2)
Occasionally a situation with low potential can unexpectedly result in a nice flight shot, or even two.
Category: Birds
Northern Harrier – Wing Extension And Tail Flare
Ruddy Duck (and a video clip that’ll get your attention…)
Behaviorally the Ruddy Duck may be the most interesting (and amusing) waterfowl species in North America. Its nesting customs are curious to say the least, its courtship rituals have been described as ludicrous and the electric blue bill of the breeding male is unique.
Magpies – They’re Already Building Nests
Farmington Bald Eagle Update
For the past several weeks I’ve been receiving almost daily requests for the current and anticipated Bald Eagle situation at Farmington Bay WMA so this morning I’ve decided to be a little proactive with a blog post that covers most everything I know on the subject.
Raven Sneak Attack On A Golden Eagle In Flight
It isn’t every day that I get to photograph an aerial attack by a raven on a Golden Eagle.
Magpie Demonstrating An Interesting Bird Photography Phenomenon
Northern Harriers In Flight (and a tribute to an old lens)
Golden Eagles Playing In The Wind
For the past several weeks I’ve sporadically been photographing Golden Eagles on Antelope Island. Yesterday morning was the most fun (and the most disappointing) time with them yet.
Male Pintail – One Handsome Duck Dude
In my view the male Northern Pintail is the most elegant looking duck I see regularly.
Coyotes Steal A Jackrabbit From Golden Eagles
Kestrel Cleaning And Honing Its Beak (and the importance of beak care)
Both wild raptors and those who care for captive birds must pay particular attention to beak health.
Wintering Burrowing Owl On Antelope Island
Burrowing Owls are “supposed” to migrate out of Utah during winter but yesterday I photographed one up close on Antelope Island that apparently didn’t read the book.
Raven – The Last Image I’ll Take Using My 100-400mm Lens
Ravens are common in my area but I rarely get interesting quality images of them for a variety of reasons. For starters their deep black plumage makes them very difficult to photograph well. And around here they also tend to be shy and devilishly uncooperative.
Two Harriers In Flight Within Minutes – Including The Gray Ghost
I often see groups of harriers off in the distance but it’s rare for me to be close enough to photograph two different birds in such a short time span. And this time one of them was an adult male – the elusive “gray ghost”.
