Saying Goodbye To The Old Farmington Nature Center And Welcoming The New
I cut my photographic teeth at Farmington Bay and the Great Salt Lake Nature Center played a pivotal role in my activities out there.

A Red-tailed Hawk Image I’ve Changed My Mind About
Occasionally I have second (or even third or fourth) thoughts about an image. This is one of them.
Western Grebe – Swallowing A Catfish Can Be Dangerous Business
I suspect this Western Grebe may have had a previous and unpleasant experience with a catfish.
Great Horned Owl – A Bird I Gambled On And Lost
Photographing birds is often a game of playing the odds. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Long-billed Curlew Performing Rhynchokinesis
The Elusive Wilson’s Snipe
The preferred habitat of the Wilson’s Snipe often isn’t pretty but they’re elusive enough that I’ll photograph them anywhere I get the chance.
Calliope Hummingbird In A Natural Setting
I have fewer opportunities with hummingbirds than many bird photographers because I won’t photograph them at setups (or flash them). I much prefer a natural setting, natural light and behaviors that haven’t been coerced.
Bald Eagles And The “Good Old Days” At Farmington Bay
This morning I felt like reminiscing a little about the old days at Farmington Bay and the Bald Eagles there in winter.
Birds “Wearing To Dark” – Chukars and Loggerhead Shrikes
American Avocet With A Death Grip On A Rival
No deaths or injuries actually occurred but for a few moments it sure looked like they might.
Pelicans Flying Tandem
Big, lumbering pelicans don’t provide many dynamic flight postures so having two or more birds in the frame can increase your chances of getting something else that the viewer finds visually appealing.
Great Horned Owl In The Bear River Wetlands
This adult Great Horned Owl at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge yesterday morning surprised me on several levels.
This Is Why I Hate Low-flying Aircraft In The Marshes
An Owl, Barbed Wire And The (expensive) Solution To My Camera Problems
How’s that for a convoluted, seemingly disjointed title? I’ll try to pull it all together as you proceed through the post.
Caspian Tern In Flight
I thought “the king of all the terns” deserved some exposure on my blog, especially since many folks don’t often see (or recognize) the species.
