Black-billed Magpies On A Bison Gut-pile
My title is warning enough that these photos are graphic but I believe this story must be told.

Some Recent Birds In My World
This selection of seven photos is a fairly representative cross-section of the bird species I’ve been seeing recently.
American Kestrel Struggling With Wet, Sticky Pipit Feathers In The Snow
Belted Kingfisher Throwing A Pellet
Long-billed Curlew – A Stretched-out Takeoff Series
Hooded Merganser With A Misaligned (not deformed) Bill
Full Frame Barn Owl In Flight
I seldom get an image of a bird in flight that doesn’t need cropping for the best possible composition.
Sage Thrashers Grooming And Displaying
Sage Thrashers have been described as “rather plain and unremarkable” but I love’em.
A Belted Kingfisher Doing What Kingfishers Do
A Highly Entertaining Belted Kingfisher
Barbed Wire Fences – More Good Than Bad For Short-eared Owls?
Many of us despise the disastrous effects of barbed wire fences on birds and other wildlife and I share that view. But maybe it’s a more nuanced issue than some of us believe. Could it be that barbed wire fences have a more positive overall effect on some species than negative?
American Kestrel – A Stiff-legged Takeoff
A Potpourri Of Recent Images (8 bird species and 1 mammal)
Though none of these photos may be truly spectacular I like each of them for their behavior, charm or uniqueness.
A Landing American Kestrel
Photos of birds as they land are a challenge, especially when your subject is a quick little falcon.
A Loggerhead Shrike And A Coyote In The Snow
This morning I feel a little like how this shrike must have felt just over a year ago. We finally have snow on the ground here in Salt Lake City!
