Feedback From HawkWatch International About Yesterday’s Banded Kestrel
As promised, here’s what I now know about the banded male American Kestrel I photographed on Christmas morning.
American Kestrel Takeoff In A Near Whiteout (+ a little surprise)
Song Sparrow In A Frosty Wonderland
I don’t have many “Christmassy” images but for me this one certainly showcases the season.
Barn Owl With Prey In The Snow
A Mysterious Long-billed Curlew Egg
We spotted a far off Long-billed Curlew in flight with something large in its bill.
An American Kestrel, Rabbitbrush And Snow
Snow-covered rabbitbrush is a perch I wish birds would use more often. Its seed heads often stay yellow until winter and when it’s covered with snow I think it makes an attractive and interesting setting for most any bird. But when the subject is a colorful male American Kestrel the combination can be particularly striking.
Western Kingbird Leaving Her Nest
After yesterday, when I nearly grew icicles on my chin inside my own home, I needed to post an image with some greenery and some implied warmth!
Preening Rough-legged Hawk
Adult Bald Eagle On Landing Approach
For some reason I don’t see, or at least notice, the alulae (bastard wings) on eagles very often.
A Few Recent Birds
Occasionally I like to post a collection of recent bird images – a potpourri of sorts. These are photos that I might not post as stand-alones but collectively they’re a pretty good representation of some of the species now present in northern Utah. Each of these images was taken over the past eleven days.
Where Have All The Raptors Gone?
I know my title sounds like a Peter, Paul and Mary song but this is a serious question that I become more concerned about with each passing day.
Do Raptors Ever Deliberately Drop Their Prey In Flight?
Northern Harrier In Golden Light
The “Little Things” That Change Our Lives
I often wonder what my life would have been like but for a small quirk of fate 58 years ago.
