Chronicling A Recent Morning On Antelope Island
Four days ago I had a particularly interesting morning on Antelope Island and thought readers might enjoy a chronological reporting of my experience. Some of these images are better than others but as a group these photos of varying quality document my 2 1/2 hour morning on that wonderful island.
Magpie Take-off
Black-billed Magpies are difficult subjects but I enjoy the challenge of photographing them.
Northern Harrier With An Interesting Tail Feather
I had some fun with a rather unique Northern Harrier yesterday morning.
Chukars – A Pair
After a long time where they’ve been difficult to find on Antelope Island I’m finally beginning to see Chukars again.
Western Grebe Swallowing A Crayfish
When it comes to diet Western Grebes are fish specialists but they’re opportunistic enough to take a variety of prey, including crustaceans.
A Few Seconds, A Light Change – What A Difference!
Changes in light in a very short time can have a dramatic effect on our images. The phenomenon tends to be well understood by landscape photographers but it can have a similar impact in wildlife photography.
Belted Kingfisher In Flight
Several Belted Kingfishers have been wintering in the Farmington area and as of late they’ve been slightly more cooperative than is typical of the species.
Birds Being Fooled By Our Warm Winter?
Based on what I’m seeing in the field I’m wondering if some birds aren’t being tricked into spring activities too early.
A Triple Dose Of Serendipity
They say that bad news comes in threes. Maybe sometimes the good stuff happens in triplets too.
Rough-legged Hawk – Beautiful In Flight, Goofy-looking Perched
The Rough-legged Hawk is a true arctic species so images of them in a frosty and snowy setting can seem appropriate and appealing.
Preening Trumpeter Swans
I believe the Trumpeter Swan to be the most elegant bird species I’ve ever photographed.
Birds In Snow
Depending on conditions snow can seem to be a magic wonderland for birds to frolic in or be a dire threat to their survival.
A Gluttonous Red-tailed Hawk
When food is plentiful raptors take advantage of the situation. Tomorrow things might be different.
Barn Owl Hunting In The Clearing Fog
Recently I’ve spent some time rooting around in my dusty archives and I’ve found a few gems that I originally passed over.
