Northern Harrier Takeoff From A Tumbleweed Perch
I haven’t been able to get any new harrier photos I like for a very long time but yesterday morning this one came through for me.
Rufous Male Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off With Prey (or carrion?)
I found him again yesterday morning and this time he was already enjoying breakfast when I arrived.
Male American Kestrel Posing In Side Light
Northern Harrier – Twelve Years Ago Today
One takeoff shot and one flight shot. I think the takeoff posture I captured is pretty special, even if I did bugger it up.
Two Displaying Tom Wild Turkeys With Their Eyes On The Prize
Birds Being Birds At Farmington Bay WMA Yesterday
Immature White-crowned Sparrow Framed Naturally
I believe this shot from three days ago will become one of my favorite photos of the species.
A Loggerhead Shrike And Wild Rose Hips
Wild Turkey Takeoff And Flight Sequence
And the reincarnation of Kevin the Wild Turkey. This time around they may call him Bruce.
Kite Strings – A Potential Death Trap For Birds
Some Recent Common And (mostly) Interesting Birds
Nine days ago I spent some time photographing some of our most abundant (for those readers who don’t like the word “common” applied to birds) songbirds at my favorite greasewood bush.
A Short Flight Series Of A Molting Barn Owl
A Squadron Of White-faced Ibises Flying Low Over The Great Salt Lake
Groups of birds in flight are hard to photograph well but I like the way this one turned out.
The Most Expensive Water I’ve Ever Bought
Honest mistakes I can easily tolerate but deliberate cheating makes me angry (probably a leftover from my teaching days when I had absolutely no tolerance for cheating in my classroom) so I’m on a rant. And yes, there are birds involved. Or at least parts of them.
