Male Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey
What to do when horrid lighting conditions make it next to impossible to photograph birds in flight but Short-eared Owls with prey are flying by close?

My Most Thrilling Prairie Falcon Encounter (and continuing story) Ever
It was an incredible experience for me to actually learn the life history of a Prairie Falcon I’d photographed in the wilds of southwest Montana.,
Avian Potpourri – Three Species, Five Images
A duck, a hawk and a heron.
Typical of potpourri there’s not much of a unifying theme here except each of my subjects has feathers in common and all five images illustrate something of interest (for me at least).
American Kestrel With Vole Prey – The Rest Of The Story
It’ll take 16 more images to tell the rest of the story that I started yesterday but I thought it was worth telling.
Male American Kestrel – An Aborted Takeoff With Prey
Canvasback Eating A Fish
A behavior I’d never heard of, seen or photographed until last week. I believe this to be a story of adaptability and survival.
A Clumsy Male American Kestrel
A Mallard And My Attempt At The Nearly Impossible
Maybe this “impossible dream” can actually be achieved. If any of my readers have ever succeeded with this type of shot I’d enjoy hearing about it.
A Christmas Morning Tradition
Juvenile Burrowing Owls – The Clowns Of The Bird World
Merlin In Warm Light (plus some falconry and family history)
Maybe I have falconry blood in my veins and perhaps that’s part of my interest in raptors…
Rough-legged Hawk Leaving And Returning From A Hunting Trip
Some of my posts are heavy on words and light on photos. This one is just the opposite.
Pied-billed Grebe – A Strategy For A Fish Too Big
The Longest Great Horned Owl Ear Tufts I’ve Seen
Occasionally physical variations in birds cause me to do a double-take. That’s exactly what happened yesterday morning with a Great Horned Owl in Box Elder County and in this case it was because of the length of its ear tufts (“horns”).
A Kingfisher And A Jerk
I encounter a lot of very nice people through my bird photography but I meet my share of stinkers too.
