Angry Northern Harrier Coming In For A Fight
Fighting harriers are both exciting and challenging to photograph – especially for neophyte bird photographers.

Two Views Of The Beautiful Backside Of A Male American Kestrel In Flight
It’s rare for me to post photos of birds where neither their eye or their face can be seen. But sometimes it’s the plumage that steals the show and for me male kestrels rule the raptor roost when it comes to spectacular colors and patterns.
White Pelican With Perfect Aim And Timing
A Pelican Landing Among Friends (and yesterday’s debacle in Box Elder County)
I rarely appreciate “accidental” birds in my photos competing with the primary subject. But there are exceptions and it happened twice with this landing American White Pelican.
“Gradual Diving” Pied-billed Grebe
Saying Goodbye To Farmington And Pelicans In An Approaching Storm
Rough-legged Hawk In flight (and a depth of field mystery…)
Occasionally I take a photograph that seems to defy (my faulty?) logic. And when that happens I probably spend more time pondering over it than I should.
Double-crested Cormorant Wing Flap
There’s twelve images here but this post is really about my experience using Canon’s “new” EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens in combination with a 1.4 extender (teleconverter).
The Bald Eagle And The Bat Box
Most Farmington Bald Eagles are nervous and shy but this subadult didn’t get the message.
A Mixed Bag Of Recent Birds
Occasionally I review my recent images and look for photos that I may have missed that hold some interest for me. This is a collection of eight of those images, taken over the past several weeks.
Male American Kestrel – Ol’ Bloody Foot
Little quirks in bird behavior often pique my curiosity even though I know there’ll likely never be a definitive explanation for them.
Rough-legged Hawk – Perched vs. Takeoff
It isn’t often that I prefer shots of a perched raptor over images of it taking off.
Rough-legged Hawk In A Unique Flight Posture
I seldom post the same species two days in a row but for this photo I’ll gladly made an exception.
A Stretched Out Rough-legged Hawk At Takeoff
My Male Merganser Miracle Shots
I have no idea how I was able to get this bird in frame in time, much less lock focus on it.
