Do Hummingbirds Cast Pellets?
Yesterday morning I may have photographed a hummingbird casting tiny pellets. I’d never heard of such a thing in hummers.
A Few Recent Raptors (four species)
A potpourri of raptors I’ve photographed within the last two weeks in northern Utah. For varying reasons I think each image has at least some merit.
Belted Kingfisher – My Elusive Lady
Belted Kingfisher Throwing A Pellet
Barbed Wire Fences – More Good Than Bad For Short-eared Owls?
Many of us despise the disastrous effects of barbed wire fences on birds and other wildlife and I share that view. But maybe it’s a more nuanced issue than some of us believe. Could it be that barbed wire fences have a more positive overall effect on some species than negative?
A Harrier, A Warbler And An Owl From Yesterday
Today I thought I’d post a little variety from yesterday in Box Elder County, Utah.
A Red-tailed Hawk And A Vole – Before And After The Meal
Don’t worry, there’s nothing gory in this short “before and after the meal” series. And I’ve also included a bit of a raptor biology lesson.
Red-tailed Hawk Chicks Throw Up Pellets Too
Swainson’s Hawk Casting A Pellet
I’m always fascinated by both the process and the resulting photos of birds ejecting pellets.
Sequence of a Western Kingbird Casting A Pellet
Birds typically eject pellets very quickly and this Western Kingbird was no exception.
Pellet Casting, Stretching Swainson’s Hawk
Several summers ago this juvenile Swainson’s Hawk in southwest Montana allowed me to photograph it performing some interesting behaviors.
Kingfisher Casting A Pellet (Canon 7D vs 7D Mark 2)
I’ve been watching this female Belted Kingfisher from afar for several weeks now but in typical kingfisher fashion she has been unapproachable. But yesterday morning she partially atoned for her bashful ways and performed some interesting behavior for my camera.
Grebes Eating Feathers (including two graphic images)
A Digestive Surprise For A Young Swainson’s Hawk
I believe this juvenile Swainson’s Hawk was taken by surprise by what it found in its mouth.
