A Golden Eagle And Frustration Rock
This damned rock has bamboozled me once again but this time it did it with my most desired photographic quarry. I call it “frustration rock” for very good reason.

Potpourri – A Few Recent Birds, Critters And Experiences
Four bird, one mammal and two “experience” photos – all taken within the last several weeks.
A Previously Unknown Badger Behavior
An American Badger here in Utah buried an entire cow carcass and they have it on “video” – (really time lapse photography, speeded up). It’s only a calf but it’s still hugely impressive and the behavior was previously unknown.
Long-billed Curlews Have Recently Returned To Northern Utah
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted any curlew photos but these migratory birds recently returned to northern Utah and my first opportunity to photograph them up close this year was three days ago on Antelope Island.
Can’t We Go Any Faster, Dad?
This is one of the most unusual and amusing bird behaviors I’ve ever photographed. And it was completely unexpected.
My First Decent Burrowing Owl Photos This Year
I seldom photograph Burrowing Owls on Antelope Island anymore so it was fun to find this cooperative bird yesterday morning.
Up Close And Eye Level To A Badger
There’s something quite intimidating about being this close and eye level to a badger. Especially the “eye level” part.
Western Meadowlark On A Buffalo Chip
I kind of dared myself to post this image and now I’m calling my own bluff. And of course the perch is more correctly called a bison chip than a buffalo chip but somehow that just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Great Horned Owl Framed By Old Wood
Black-billed Magpies At Their Nest
There’s no middle ground with magpies – most folks seem to either love them or loathe them.
Chukars Are Doing Their Spring Thing Again
For about half of the year most Chukars on Antelope Island are shy and inaccessible in more remote areas of the island but when spring rolls around they come out to play.
Western Grebes – Old And New
Two days ago I visited Bear River MBR on the first full day it was open after being closed because of flooding. It was an interesting preview of things to come.
Another Meadowlark Series (but for me this one’s special)
This may be the most humorous series I’ve ever photographed but then my mother always did say I had a warped sense of humor.
A Singing, Posing Meadowlark
An Easy Mistake To Make When Photographing Meadowlarks
It isn’t a mistake limited to meadowlarks but I do it far more often with them than with any other species.
