Red-winged Blackbirds And Fall Colors
Some simple shots of a common species and further evidence that followers of Feathered Photography have big hearts.

Great Egret Banking In Flight
Plus a champion of raptors and a mentor to thousands of raptor-lovers could use our help.
Aggressive Great Blue Herons – “Upright And Spread Wing Display”
After twelve years of photographing birds and paying particular attention to their behaviors it isn’t every day that I witness a ritualized aggressive behavior that’s new to me. But it happened yesterday at Bear River MBR with a couple of Great Blue Herons, seemingly on steroids.
Snowy Egret Landings
A large group of hungry and cooperative Snowy Egrets saved my morning yesterday at Farmington Bay WMA.
Male Northern Harrier Diving On Prey
The incredibly athletic twisting dives of Northern Harriers on prey are always impressive to witness (and difficult to photograph well) but when it’s an adult male, a “Gray Ghost”, for me at least it’s extra special.
Rough-legged Hawks
In my view Rough-legged Hawks are spectacularly handsome raptors whether perched or in flight, even in poor light.
Forster’s Terns Fishing In Flight And Emerging With A Fish
It’s been two years since I’ve posted images of this species but yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA I had some luck with them (yes, the gate at Farmington is now open).
Merlin in Deep Shade
Plus some of the challenges I’m facing right now that affect my blogging and may do so in the future.
Immature Swainson’s Hawk Amongst The Sunflowers
There are more very similar colors in these photos than you can shake the proverbial stick at.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Rodent Prey
Largely because of all I learned from him this may be my favorite individual bird I’ve ever photographed.
Northern Harrier – How Gaze Stabilization Saved An Interesting Photo
It took me years to realize what saved this image. Prepare yourself for some photo and bird geekiness as I explain.
Barn Swallow Taking Off
Some might say it’s only a swallow but I like the image a lot (and I wouldn’t say “only”.)
Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk – The Rest Of The Story
Plus… Yesterday morning I finally spent some time with the Brown Pelican on the Bear River that has caused so much excitment lately in the birding community.
A Hunting Coyote And A Fish-eating Raccoon
Fur instead of feathers today. And a question about predator and “pest” control at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.
Red-tailed Hawk Flight Series
For me this was an experimental photography technique for birds in flight. I’ll definitely be using it again.
