American Avocets At Bear River MBR Yesterday
By this time of year many American Avocets have already paired up and some of them are beginning early nesting activities.

Can’t We Go Any Faster, Dad?
This is one of the most unusual and amusing bird behaviors I’ve ever photographed. And it was completely unexpected.
Western Grebes – Old And New
Two days ago I visited Bear River MBR on the first full day it was open after being closed because of flooding. It was an interesting preview of things to come.
A Mixed Bag Of Recent Birds
Occasionally I review my recent images and look for photos that I may have missed that hold some interest for me. This is a collection of eight of those images, taken over the past several weeks.
Full Frame Barn Owl In Flight
I seldom get an image of a bird in flight that doesn’t need cropping for the best possible composition.
A Potpourri Of Recent Images (8 bird species and 1 mammal)
Though none of these photos may be truly spectacular I like each of them for their behavior, charm or uniqueness.
My First Of Year Rough-legged Hawk (+ mergansers galore)
I probably look forward to the return of the Rough-legged Hawk more than I do any other migrating bird.
Western Grebe Chick – A Jekyll And Hyde Transformation
Western Grebes have unusually mercurial personalities and their chicks exemplify that trait, especially when potential food is involved.
Western Grebe With A Fish In Gorgeous Water
For me the water reflections in this image almost steal the show from both the grebe and the fish.
Side-lit Barn Owl In Flight
A Black-necked Stilt And A Little Weirdness
These aren’t serious images, in fact I’d probably categorize them as novelty photos. But I still find them visually interesting and somehow they seem appropriate for Saturday morning.
A Few Recent Great Blue Herons In Flight (+ a discussion of shutter speed)
Last month while photographing birds on the water at Bear River MBR I’d get the occasional and unexpected Great Blue Heron fly-by.
Western Grebe – Swallowing A Catfish Can Be Dangerous Business
I suspect this Western Grebe may have had a previous and unpleasant experience with a catfish.
Great Horned Owl – A Bird I Gambled On And Lost
Photographing birds is often a game of playing the odds. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
The Elusive Wilson’s Snipe
The preferred habitat of the Wilson’s Snipe often isn’t pretty but they’re elusive enough that I’ll photograph them anywhere I get the chance.
