Dusky Flycatcher Killing and Eating A Yellowjacket
In my book any critter that beats the snot out of a yellowjacket deserves more than faint praise.
Dusky Flycatcher – The ‘Best’ Bird I’ve Photographed In Quite A While
By ‘best’ I mean that this flycatcher gave me more poses yesterday, on more perches, over more time than any other small bird in longer than I can remember. And “he” even allowed me a bunch of shots with prey for good measure, including a yellowjacket.
A Few Minutes In The Lives Of 2 Sibling Red-tailed Hawk Fledglings
Fourteen minutes condensed into eight photos to be precise. These are behavioral images and none of them are great shots but I think most of us here on Feathered Photography appreciate interesting behaviors at least as much as we do “pretty bird photos”.
Lark Sparrow With Prey (Plus A ‘Red’)
A few of the birds on Antelope Island are still in the late stages of nesting, including this Lark Sparrow and a female Bullock’s Oriole I saw at a distance feeding a recent fledgling.
Low Light Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey
Loggerhead Shrike With Prey And In Flight

Red-tailed Hawk Carrying Food To His Mate At The Nest
Short-eared Owl With Prey Immediately After Landing
Some Interesting Swainson’s Hawk Mating And Feeding Behaviors

It’s been a while since a kestrel allowed me a close approach so I appreciated the close action as this female enjoyed her furry breakfast on a great perch (photos are not gory).
Female American Kestrel In A Setting I Love
Occasionally one of my photos will grow in me the more I reflect on it and this one from yesterday morning is an example.
