Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk – Mystery Behavior
The behavior isn’t a mystery to me but it will have to remain so to my readers until tomorrow. I’ll explain why.

Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off From A Lichen-covered Rock
A combination of angle and flight posture of a raptor taking off that I rarely capture.
Red-tailed Hawk – Same Bird And Same Perch, Believe It Or Not
Even slight changes in shooting angle often dramatically effect our final results, positively, negatively or just differently. These two photos are so very different from each other it’s hard to believe it’s the same bird on the same perch.
A Decidedly Undecided Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk
Yesterday I spent some quality time with a pair of highly entertaining hatch year Red-tailed Hawk siblings. It’s been a while so it was great fun.
A Possible Yellow Warbler Strategy For Feeding On Aphids
It’s only a working theory but I believe it’s based on fairly strong circumstantial evidence.
Comparing Juvenile And Adult Green-tailed Towhees
Juvenile Black-necked Stilt
Recently Fledged Gray Catbird
This is the price I pay for my preferred style of bird photography. At times it can be a steep one.
Bald Eagle Withdrawal
Comparing And Contrasting Juvenile And Adult Bald Eagles
The transformation of Bald Eagles from juveniles to adults typically takes five years. The process is gradual but when you compare the juveniles (1st winter) to the adults and skip all the intermediate subadult stages the differences between them are dramatic.
Bald Eagles – To Fight Or Not To Fight?
Amongst Bald Eagles tensions often rise over food. But whether or not a fight will actually break out can be very difficult to predict.
Juvenile White-crowned Sparrow In An Appealing Setting
Several times each year I make it a point to pay homage to some of the “common species”.
Double-crested Cormorants Doing What Cormorants Do
Cormorant Landing On Water (+ a related physics question)
Sometimes I observe this phenomenon when birds land on water and other times I don’t. I believe it depends on the landing style of the bird but I’m trying to figure out how and why it happens.
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight Toward Me (10 image series)
I’m unusually fond of this bird because it saved both my morning and my bacon after a particularly stupid mistake in my part a few minutes earlier.
