White Pelican With Perfect Aim And Timing
Western Meadowlark – They Just Can’t Help But Sing
In springtime meadowlarks are at the mercy of their hormones. No matter what they’re doing they often burst into song right in the middle of it.
A Pelican Landing Among Friends (and yesterday’s debacle in Box Elder County)
I rarely appreciate “accidental” birds in my photos competing with the primary subject. But there are exceptions and it happened twice with this landing American White Pelican.
“Gradual Diving” Pied-billed Grebe
Saying Goodbye To Farmington And Pelicans In An Approaching Storm
Some Recent Birds
Six images, six species.
None of these photos is an award-winner but for disparate reasons each one grabs me just a little and I’ll mention why in this post. All of them were taken in the last several weeks.
Rough-legged Hawk In flight (and a depth of field mystery…)
Occasionally I take a photograph that seems to defy (my faulty?) logic. And when that happens I probably spend more time pondering over it than I should.
A Peregrine Falcon To Try My Patience
Persistence and dogged tenacity are often prerequisites of bird photography but even then there’s no guarantee of success.
A Singing Meadowlark And Hopes Of Imminent Spring Dashed Again
Double-crested Cormorant Wing Flap
There’s twelve images here but this post is really about my experience using Canon’s “new” EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens in combination with a 1.4 extender (teleconverter).
Bison Bulls Doing What Bison Do
One problem with photographing bison is that they don’t do anything interesting very often. These big bulls were a bit of an exception.
The Bald Eagle And The Bat Box
Most Farmington Bald Eagles are nervous and shy but this subadult didn’t get the message.
Magpie Rising In Iridescent Splendor
Iridescence in Black-billed Magpies is fleeting but quite spectacular when you can catch the light just right.
