Red-tailed Hawk – Life Repeating Itself
Two days ago this Red-tailed Hawk had me wondering if I was in some kind of time warp.
Red-tailed Hawk – Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
Some Of My Favorite Photos From The Distant Past – Volume 1
Further Evidence That Kestrels Become ‘Sticky’ In Cold Weather
American Kestrels are notoriously difficult to approach but bring on the cold and sometimes I think they must have glue on their feet.
Northern Harrier Flight Maneuver – The Rest Of The Story
Yesterday I posted a single photo from this series and told readers I’d post the rest of them as soon as I could. Black Friday was my first opportunity.
Northern Harrier Athletic Flight Maneuver
With Northern Harriers erratic flight comes with the territory so I’ve come to expect it but soon after this female took off yesterday morning she almost juked me out of my shoes.
Male American Kestrel ‘Wing Fling’
It’s unusual but occasionally I can (mostly) overlook significant technical flaws in one of my photos and still appreciate it for other reasons.
Male Northern Harrier Looking Back At Me While Banking
A flight posture I rarely get with a raptor in flight, especially when the raptor is a ‘Gray Ghost’.
Some Recent Birds
American Goldfinch – ‘Common’ Species Deserve More Respect
Rough-legged Hawk – Still A Work In Progress
American Pipit – After The Bath
I try to avoid assigning emotions to birds (not always successfully) but I swear this was one joyful little pipit.
Female Merlin – No Way To Treat A Newcomer
Within a span of just a few minutes three of our resident birds, including two raptors, gave this recently arrived female Merlin a very hard time so I figured she deserved a more welcoming greeting from another Utah resident. That would be me in today’s post.
Northern Harrier Takeoff And Flight Series
I got this harrier series two days ago on the same morning I photographed the American Kestrel vs. Merlin fight. I also photographed two other kestrels and a Red-tailed Hawk that morning so it was a good day for raptor photography.
