I fully expected to be skunked by the lack of birds or poor light or both but this trip to Antelope Island was a little better than I anticipated. We actually had good light until near the end of the morning and we found a few interesting critters.
Plus why I’m so enamored by the traditions and artifacts of the Plains Indians and their connections to our family farm (yes, I got a little carried away today…).
Amongst Bald Eagles tensions often rise over food. But whether or not a fight will actually break out can be very difficult to predict.
These photos are the epitome of the bird photography style known as “bird on a stick”. But at least it’s a natural stick and he did “salute” me to make up for it.
These photos are examples of a type of flight shot that is very difficult to get sharp.
I figured my readers deserve to know one of the reasons I’ve been posting so many older photos lately.
I know I’ve posted a lot of harrier photos over the years but I do love them, as evidenced by the vanity plate on my pickup and the graphic at the top of my blog.
In fact it’s one of the largest voles I’ve seen (don’t worry, there’s nothing graphic here).
