Three Consecutive Shots Of A Barn Owl In Flight
This Barn Owl was hunting near the road in front of me so I pulled over and angled my pickup for a lucky shot or two just in case the bird came my way.
American Kestrel Potpourri
Several readers have said recently that they’d like to see occasional images from my archives. These American Kestrel photos are my attempt to deliver on that request.
A Clumsy Bald Eagle With (and then without) Prey
The occasional Bald Eagle lurks near the west end of the Antelope Island causeway for good reason – lots of potential prey. The open water near the bridge attracts a variety of waterfowl so falcons and eagles are sometimes seen in the area.
Bear River Barn Owl, Perched And In Flight
When it’s this cold and snowy Barn Owls are flying during daytime over much of northern Utah. They’re often not easy to find but when you do locate one they can be fairly cooperative.
Burrowing Owl – Deja vu All Over Again
With apologies to Yogi Berra for the liberties I took with my title I decided to post an image I’ve posted before, long ago. Here’s why.
A Short-eared Owl Flying Right At Me
I think this owl might have been trying to intimidate me or maybe he was just curious about my pickup. Either way he sure did come in close.

“High-key” images have a predominance of light or bright tones which in this case were provided by an ice and snow covered pond in the background.
Northern Shoveler Just Before Splash-down
I’ll admit to often ignoring Northern Shovelers while they’re on the water but I enjoy the challenge of photographing them in flight.
A Couple Of Magpie Take-offs
Golden Eagle – A Magnificent Bird But Still A Nemesis
Golden Eagles are my #1 photographic quarry. I’d rather get a magnificent flight shot of one of these regal birds than any other species I can think of and that includes other raptors like Snowy Owls and Gyrfalcons.
Northern Harriers In Flight – Where Do Those Long Legs And Feet Go?
Northern Harriers perform a pretty neat trick with their unusually long, slender legs and feet while they’re in flight.
Rough-legged Hawk Take-off Series
Yesterday was a good day for raptors in western Utah County as I was able to chalk up eight species.
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.
High Steppin’ Coot
A goofy pose when combined with outrageous-looking body parts makes me smile, especially when the subject is an American Coot.
