From my winters living in Montana I remember what it’s like to drive through snow like this. Flying through it in flocks of other birds must be even more harrowing, in part because of its three dimensional challenges in significantly reduced visibility.
Plus my take on Canon’s new IDX Mark III camera. Final specs were announced yesterday.
I know next to nothing about Oriental art but does this photo from yesterday morning have any resemblance to traditional Japanese prints?
Midwinter is Barn Owl “season” in northern Utah but it can also be an extremely grim time of year for them.
Ok, it’s past time to fully address the elephant in the room when it comes to my photography.
My photos in the cold yesterday morning were actually sharp! Thanks to a friend I may (or may not) have arrived at a partial solution to my problem with soft photos while shooting from my pickup in unusually cold temperatures.
Bird photographers never know what we’ll see in our photos that we didn’t notice in the field. My shots of this Prairie Falcon taken two days ago surprised me in more ways than one.
Yesterday morning we finally had some light around here and I even found some beautiful birds to take advantage of it. This Golden Eagle is one of them.
This shot from yesterday morning came very close to being one of my favorite kestrel photos of all time.
I’ve photographed hundreds of Barn Owls over the years but this was something I’d never seen before and haven’t seen since.
A species too often ignored by bird photographers. I’m guilty of it myself so it’s time for atonement.
The dark color morph of the Ferruginous Hawk is unusual, significantly less than 10% of the population in North America. Since Ferruginous Hawks of any color are uncommon (Sibley calls them “rare”), the dark morph is a very narrow slice of that uncommon group and Ferruginous Hawks in general are such regal and impressive hawks I’ve been enamored of this bird ever since I found “him” a couple of weeks ago.
