Ducks Fighting, Mergansers Flying And Geese Mating
Male Common Merganser In A Natural Vignette
I’m generally not a fan of vignettes in nature photography because to me they seem unnatural and pretentious.
A Common Merganser And A Depth Of Field Issue
It’s my contention that “muscle memory”, fast reflexes and quick thinking are more important in bird photography than they are in most other types of photography.
My Half-baked Theory Regarding The Mechanics Of A Goldeneye Dive
Occasionally the frozen moments in my photographs allow me to see something that really piques my curiosity. And makes me wonder about the relationships between natural selection, behaviors and structural adaptations.
Common Goldeneye – A Wing Flap With An Unusual Twist
A Goose Of A Different Feather
I see hybrid wild ducks fairly often in the field but a hybrid Canada Goose was a new experience for me.
A Few Recent Birds
Occasionally I like to post a collection of recent bird images – a potpourri of sorts. These are photos that I might not post as stand-alones but collectively they’re a pretty good representation of some of the species now present in northern Utah. Each of these images was taken over the past eleven days.
A Trio Of Canada Geese In Flight
The calls of Canada Geese in flight are harbingers of the changing seasons and that’s certainly the case around here.
Some Recent Birds In My World
This selection of seven photos is a fairly representative cross-section of the bird species I’ve been seeing recently.
A Diving Redhead
A Raptor, Ducks In Flight And A Lifer From Montana’s Centennial Valley
Usually my blog focuses on a single species but today’s post is a bit of a potpourri.
Canvasback – A Goal Accomplished And An Addiction Reinforced
I worked harder at getting this shot than any other single image. Ever! It’s ugly but I love it.
Some Pet Peeves Regarding Birds And Terminology
I suspect all of us have personal pet peeves about things that are important to us. These are some of mine regarding birds and the words that some people apply to them.
Male Common Goldeneye Foraging In Rapids Of The Jordan River
This was one of my most challenging bird photography sessions ever but the behavior was fascinating to watch.
