An Indecisive Coyote With A Male Northern Shoveler As Prey
Short-eared Owl In The Snow Looking Every Which Way
Coyote Fascinated By His Own Reflection
I love being a witness to moments like this in nature because they can strongly suggest conscious self-awareness in animals.
Hovering Male Northern Harrier – Gray On Gray
This is one situation where I’ll allow one of my personal photographic ‘rules’ to be broken.
Male Northern Harrier In Flight
Multiple Leucistic Eared Grebes Along The Antelope Island Causeway
I photographed eight Leucistic Eared Grebes in 14 minutes yesterday morning and at least one more later on.
Rough-legged Hawk With A Vole And Kiting In The Wind
A Harrier Teasing Me In The Wind
Prairie Falcon In Flight With A Duck In Its Talons
I was just leaving Antelope Island when I encountered this young Prairie Falcon feeding on what I believe is a Shoveler near the marina.
Female American Kestrel Feeding On A Vole
This pretty little female kestrel enjoyed a vole breakfast yesterday morning along the causeway to Antelope Island. I’ll spare you most of the gory details but raptor feeding behavior is one of the many behaviors that I find interesting.
Juvenile Peregrine Falcon (plus a look at the falcon “nostril cone”)

Male Northern Harrier Goin’ Nuts In The Wind
Sometimes raptors in flight appear to play in the wind and Northern Harriers seem to enjoy it more than most species.
It Took A Gyrfalcon To Bring Out The Birder In Me
I’ve said it many times, I’m a bird photographer not a traditional birder. But an incident earlier this year gave me a taste of the excitement birders must feel when they observe a rare species and have that sighting accepted by the birding community.
Rough-legged Hawk Kiting Along The Antelope Island Causeway
This bird was kiting in the updrafts as the winds rose when they hit the elevated causeway to Antelope Island.
