Prairie Falcon In Flight With A Duck In Its Talons
I was just leaving Antelope Island when I encountered this young Prairie Falcon feeding on what I believe is a Shoveler near the marina.

Magpie Take-off From An Old Nest
Foggy, Low Light Barn Owl In Flight – My Sharpness Issues May Be Over
Yesterday was a good day. Despite the “soup” in our valleys I was able to get some shots that begin to confirm that my lens may be working properly again and I met one of my blog followers from out-of-town.
A Startled American Kestrel
Female American Kestrel Feeding On A Vole
This pretty little female kestrel enjoyed a vole breakfast yesterday morning along the causeway to Antelope Island. I’ll spare you most of the gory details but raptor feeding behavior is one of the many behaviors that I find interesting.
Female Red-winged Blackbird Basking In The Warming Sun
My Mid-winter Hummingbird Fix
Magpies Finding Insects To Eat In Northern Utah In January!
Juvenile Peregrine Falcon (plus a look at the falcon “nostril cone”)
I’ve seen a fair number of Peregrine and Prairie Falcons on Antelope Island this winter but this is the only one that hasn’t proven elusive.
Magpies Building Nests Already And Ice-fishing Herons
I photographed two interesting bird behaviors yesterday morning on Antelope Island and at Farmington Bay WMA.
White-lined Sphinx Moths In Flight
When I bought my 500mm lens I never imagined that one day I’d be using that monster to photograph insects in flight.
In Defense Of Scavengers
A Shrike, A Coyote And A Couple Of Lucky Rabbit’s Feet
For me most of these shots from yesterday morning on Antelope Island have symbolic significance for the new year.
American Kestrel Potpourri
Several readers have said recently that they’d like to see occasional images from my archives. These American Kestrel photos are my attempt to deliver on that request.
A Clumsy Bald Eagle With (and then without) Prey
The occasional Bald Eagle lurks near the west end of the Antelope Island causeway for good reason – lots of potential prey. The open water near the bridge attracts a variety of waterfowl so falcons and eagles are sometimes seen in the area.
