Weather Loach – An Extreme Story Of Survival
Many birds and other vertebrates have innovative strategies for survival and the weather loach is certainly one of them.
Sexing (and identifying juvenile) Rough-legged Hawks
The Rough-legged Hawk is our only buteo that exhibits true sexual dimorphism so adults can be sexed based on plumage.
Adult Bald Eagle Eating A Fish In Flight
At first glance veteran readers of Feathered Photography may think you’ve seen these images before. Believe me, you haven’t.
Northern Pygmy Owl With (big) Prey
When you’re this small it takes guts to take on prey heavier than yourself but intestinal fortitude is this owl’s long suite.
Rough-legged Hawk In Flight – A Matter Of Taste
A Couple Of Interesting Barn Owl Images
Each of these photos has something just a little bit different about it, at least in my collection of Barn Owl images.
A Porcupine Story
Northern Harriers Fighting And Hunting (+ a photo contest I endorse)
Kingfisher Landing With A Fish
Fighting Northern Harriers (plus a rant about baiting raptors)
There’s more negative fallout caused by baiting raptors than many are aware of and some of it affects our fellow photographers who don’t bait and never have. I’ve been stewing about this for a while now so I finally had to get it off my chest.
Western Grebes – A Family Affair
For a variety of reasons this might have been my most rewarding session ever with a family of Western Grebes and I actually had five of them to play with.
Woodpeckers In (and coming out of) Nesting Cavities
Different woodpecker species often compete for the same nesting cavity and “ownership” can change from year to year.
Chukar Calling In Warm Light
There’s many things I like about this shot and only one I don’t. A ratio that good doesn’t happen often enough with this bird photographer.
Another American Kestrel Being A Picky Eater
Kestrels are highly efficient and skillful at “de-hiding” their small mammal prey (and no, I don’t think this image is gory).
