Dark Morph Ferruginous Hawk – A Triumph And Then An Epic Failure
This is the same hawk I photographed in flight from far away a week ago but I found him again yesterday morning and this time he was close. And he’s a dark morph by golly!
Northern Harrier In Flight Against A Softly Layered Background
Particularly with birds in flight our backgrounds can have a major impact on our images, one way or the other.
Red-tailed Hawk Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
Raptors have several behavioral quirks that bird photographers who lust after takeoff and flight shots should be very familiar with because they signal imminent takeoff. Yesterday morning near Farmington Bay WMA this immature Red-tailed Hawk knew all the choreographed moves and performed most of them on cue.
Northern Harrier In Flight – Asymmetry In My Bird Photos
Asymmetry in my images appeals to me, particularly with birds in flight. Yesterday I got two successive photos like that of a Northern Harrier as it quickly changed direction.

Short-eared Owl With Prey Flying Straight At Me
Migrating Yellow-rumped Warblers
Among warblers this species migrates late but they’re here in good numbers now. I photographed these birds two days ago in Davis County, Utah.
Cooper’s Hawk Takeoff and Flight Series

Snowy Egret Landings
A large group of hungry and cooperative Snowy Egrets saved my morning yesterday at Farmington Bay WMA.
Rough-legged Hawks
In my view Rough-legged Hawks are spectacularly handsome raptors whether perched or in flight, even in poor light.
Wet Red-tailed Hawk Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
Forster’s Terns Fishing In Flight And Emerging With A Fish
