A Singing Meadowlark Who Then Does A Weird Sideways Takeoff
For me it doesn’t get much better than a meadowlark singing on fresh, green sagebrush in the spring. But in this case it was the takeoff that really attracted my attention.
Sage Thrashers Hunting Bugs On Antelope Island (and the misery of biting gnats)
The island is teeming with bugs right now and nesting Sage Thrashers are taking advantage of the situation.
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey And At The Nest
This male Short-eared Owl was a super-efficient hunter and provider for his family.

A Burrowing Owl Amongst The Flowers

A Burrowing Owl With Grit
Western Meadowlark Territorial Display
I finally know the purpose behind this Western Meadowlark behavior. Typically I observe it several times each breeding season but until yesterday I never fully understood its significance.
