Snowy Egret In Flight With A Bokeh I Adore
Here’s another photo where I like the background as much as the bird and in large part that’s due to the quality of the bokeh.
Forster’s Tern In A Setting I Like
Blue sky backgrounds for birds in flight are ok but I grow tired of them and prefer something more interesting and challenging.
Forster’s Tern In Flight
A Northern Harrier In Flight, Bad Habits And Bird Photography
I’m a creature of habit and as a bird photographer that tendency sometimes doesn’t serve me well.
Gadwall In Flight And At Speed
Forster’s Tern In Flight With A Fish (+ dealing with the vagaries of bird photography)
Operator error and lack of needed skills are probably the most common causes of screwed up action/flight shots of birds but there are other villains we have absolutely no control over.
Forster’s Tern – Moment Of Impact (almost)
This is the closest I’ve come (so far) to catching the moment of impact of a tern diving for fish and it’s pretty darned close.
Two Perspectives On Snowy Egrets In Flight
Three Image Sequence Of A Forster’s Tern Just After Emerging With A Fish
Any photography skills I may have were definitely tested yesterday morning as I attempted to photograph terns coming out of the water with fish.
Western Grebes “Chick Dumping”
This is one of the more interesting bird behaviors I’ve photographed and it’s always entertaining to watch.
Clark’s Grebes Feeding Their Very Excited Chicks
I spend a great deal of time with Western and Clark’s Grebes as they raise their families at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
White Pelican In Flight Against A Mottled Sky
I often think of American White Pelicans as flying boats. They’re huge and ungainly looking on land but in flight they’re ever so graceful.
“Rushing” Western Grebes
The ritualized displays and courtship ceremonies of Western Grebes are among the most complex known in the bird world.
Yellow-headed Blackbird (and getting good detail in deep blacks)
This image grabs me for reasons that only other bird photographers might appreciate.
