Rough-legged Hawk – The (very) Big Yawn
Male American Kestrels On Rabbitbrush
This first photo shows the result of a “plop” landing in the snow. The second shot isn’t much more dignified.
Coyote Fascinated By His Own Reflection
I love being a witness to moments like this in nature because they can strongly suggest conscious self-awareness in animals.
Coyote At Sunrise
I have a soft spot for coyotes that goes all the way back to my time growing up on the Montana farm.
Prairie Falcon Trying To Drag Heavy Prey
Dragging her next meal over all the bumpy obstacles was almost too much for the struggling falcon.
Spotlit Prairie Falcon
Light like this very rarely occurs in bird photography that doesn’t involve setups or some other kind of manipulation, especially when the subject is a wild Prairie Falcon.
Adult White-crowned Sparrow Feasting On Rabbitbrush Seeds
I probably don’t give sparrows their due on my blog so it’s time to make amends. This species is among my favorites, especially the adults.
Male Western Kingbird Displaying After Landing
Western Kingbirds are noted for their persistent belligerent behavior. This is one of nine different aggressive displays bird behaviorists have identified in the species.
Rough-legged Hawk In A Fantailed Preening Pose
Black-chinned Hummingbird Feeding On Bee Plant
A different species this time, Black-chinned instead of the Broad-tailed Hummingbirds I’ve been posting lately.
Prairie Falcon In Flight With Prey
This photo is on the short list of my favorite shots of all time, partly because of its high degree of difficulty but certainly not limited to that. But the version I’ve posted in the past needed some tweaking.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey Being Chased By Another Owl
A double dose of serendipity with the two related events being separated from each other by eight years. To the day.
Willet Teasing Me Mercilessly
This is why I keep returning to that gnarly old stump used as a perch in yesterday’s post.
