It’s been a while since I published a potpourri post so I figured it was about time. Each of the following 8 images was taken over the last 8 days in places like Bear River MBR, Antelope Island, Farmington Bay WMA or other favorite haunts of mine in northern Utah.
This is the same look I’d get from my mother when she caught me in the cookie jar as a little kid. I still remember that look.
Most folks don’t know much about them but the “painted bison” have become an iconic symbol of Antelope Island.
The moral and ethical behavior of my own species often appalls me but a very recent event has reminded me that I shouldn’t color with a brush too broad.
Five years ago tomorrow I had one of my most memorable experiences with birds of any species in the field.
It could be argued that I owe this cute little fledgling Burrowing Owl a huge debt of gratitude.
Plus a past due explanation for why readers may have noticed a recent unfortunate trend on Feathered Photography.
It wasn’t much of an assist but just the fact that the magpie could/would do it for so little gain amazed me.
I spent more time with this Rough-legged Hawk than I have with any other raptor in flight.
