Sometimes only subtle differences separate an unremarkable photo from one that makes me take a second look and appreciate it far more. For me this one did just that.

If You Think Birds Don’t Notice The Little Things…
If you think birds don’t notice the little things you’d be wrong. This male American Kestrel is the proof in the pudding.
Male Hooded Merganser, This Time In Water (mostly)
Drake Hoodies may be pretty little ducks but their flashy and contrasty colors make them one of the most difficult exposures I’ve ever attempted.
Drake Hooded Merganser Out Of The Water
Male American Kestrels On Rabbitbrush
This first photo shows the result of a “plop” landing in the snow. The second shot isn’t much more dignified.
Yesterday’s Kingfisher
There are very few bird photographers who don’t bellyache about the elusiveness of Belted Kingfishers and I’ve done more than my share of whining about it myself.
My First Rough-legged Hawk Of The Season
Recently I’ve seen several “roughies” at a distance but they were only tiny specks in my viewfinder or flying away from me. Finally, yesterday morning this adult male took pity on me.
A Colorful Wild Turkey Tom – Reporting Banded Birds
I believe this is the only banded Wild Turkey I’ve ever photographed. I can read some of the band numbers and make a pretty good guess at the others.
Wilson’s Warbler On Sumac Berries
This black-capped rascal was one of the most exasperating birds I ever aimed my lens at.
Male Red-tailed Hawk Looking Dapper
Broad-tailed Hummingbird Wing And Tail Stretch
This photo is a perfect example of why I typically fire off quick bursts of many shots of my subjects rather than just one or two.
Broad-tailed Hummingbird Taking Off In Pursuit Of A Rival
This was another instance where I didn’t know what I’d photographed until I reviewed my images at home. That happens often with hummingbirds because they’re so incredibly fast.
Some Seasonal Plumage Changes In Male Cinnamon Teals
Yesterday morning at Bear River MBR I encountered a male Cinnamon Teal that had me a little confused at first.
