Male Redhead – The “Fool Duck”
Male Redheads are a handsome duck and I’ll photograph them every chance I get. Interesting poses are a bonus.
Male American Kestrel – An Image Where (Almost) Everything Came Together
Most often on this blog I share my photographic successes but occasionally I can’t resist ranting over one of my near-misses.
Short-eared Owl With Prey And Resting After Hunting
It’s barely the New Year but I’m already weary of snow and cold so there’s a change of pace this morning provided by a Short-eared Owl, flowers and the color green.
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.
My Christmas Morning Bird Tradition (and an update on Shannon)
Cinnamon Teal With A Strange Feather Condition
Ok, curiosity finally dictated that I post some images of this duck. Does anyone know what’s going on here?
A Short-eared Owl Flying Right At Me

Male American Kestrel – A Champion Poser
This male American Kestrel was such an enthusiastic poser that he performed for me for over six minutes.
Male American Kestrel (and a meadowlark with a death wish)
After all the time I’ve spent in the field watching and photographing birds and their behaviors I still occasionally see something that surprises me.
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.
Northern Harrier – Surprisingly Similar Images Of The Same Bird In Flight
It isn’t unusual to get almost identical images of a perched bird but it’s another story when they’re in flight.
