Great Blue Heron Banking In Flight And Low To The Ground
Northern Harrier In Flight With An Odd Looking Alula
I pay attention to the alulae in my photos of birds in flight and this one caught my eye.
American Kestrel Trying To Regain His Balance In The Wind
An agile and athletically confident falcon in a rare moment of physical awkwardness and indecision.
Great Blue Heron Takeoff Series
Plus my take on Canon’s new IDX Mark III camera. Final specs were announced yesterday.
Male American Kestrel Trying To Balance In The Wind
Good light and a cooperative bird is a combination I haven’t had in a very long time but it happened yesterday at Bear River MBR.
A Northern Harrier In Flight And That Elusive Catch Light
Catch lights in the eyes of our subjects are important far beyond their diminutive size but they’re both fickle and elusive.
Barn Owl In Flight Against A Snowy Mountain Background
Midwinter is Barn Owl “season” in northern Utah but it can also be an extremely grim time of year for them.
Northern Harrier Flight Series
Ok, it’s past time to fully address the elephant in the room when it comes to my photography.
Northern Harrier Twisting Flight Posture
My photos in the cold yesterday morning were actually sharp! Thanks to a friend I may (or may not) have arrived at a partial solution to my problem with soft photos while shooting from my pickup in unusually cold temperatures.
A Bloody Barn Owl In Flight
I’ve photographed hundreds of Barn Owls over the years but this was something I’d never seen before and haven’t seen since.
My First Rough-legged Hawk Of The Season
Recently I’ve seen several “roughies” at a distance but they were only tiny specks in my viewfinder or flying away from me. Finally, yesterday morning this adult male took pity on me.
Western Grebe Trying To Walk With Little Success
Grebes of all species very rarely try to walk or even come out of the water onto a solid surface. Because of their unusual anatomy standing and walking are almost impossible tasks but this one made the attempt anyway. The results were hilarious.
Snowy Egret Stalking And Striking At A… I Don’t Know What It Is!
I always enjoy mysteries in my photos like this one, especially when they involve bird behaviors. And sometimes my readers even solve them for me.
Great Egret Banking In Flight
Plus a champion of raptors and a mentor to thousands of raptor-lovers could use our help.
