With their eyes completely surrounded by white and an orange bill I think Clark’s Grebes have a slightly more elegant appearance than the nearly identical Western Grebe. But I love spending time with both species, especially when they’re back brooding chicks.
Two days ago I spent an hour and 45 minutes photographing a male Marsh Wren building one of his “dummy” nests at Bear River MBR.
Plus my first-of-year Swainson’s Hawk. These two hawks brought me two different kinds of excitement.
Photographing swallows in flight is one of the more difficult tasks I attempt as a bird photographer.
Most winters around here Tundra Swans have been completely unapproachable but this year has been different.
Yup, a bonanza of swans! And many were finally in areas where they could be seen up close.
Two keepers of two different species in flight within seconds of each other is a rarity for me.
