Two Takeoffs From A Male American Kestrel
This first shot may look familiar but all of these photos are new to my blog and there’s a story to tell.
Ferruginous Hawk – The Big Stretch At Takeoff
The Peregrine Falcon And The Coot
For me at least Peregrine Falcons are usually unapproachable but occasionally when they’ve had prey I’ve been able to get close enough for quality photos. That’s why I appreciate the sacrifice of this American Coot.
Canada Goose – A Running Takeoff On Water
The Value Of Takeoff Shot Failures
I often pay nearly as much attention to my failed takeoff and flight shots as I do to my successes.
Fourteen Image Series Of A Great Blue Heron Taking Off And In Flight
I actually got nine additional photos of this bird in flight but I thought these fourteen were the best ones. They’re all presented in the order they were taken with no skips.
Northern Mockingbirds Are Still Here In Northern Utah
I’m surprised they haven’t migrated south by now but I’ve seen several of them the last few days in the mountains and on the valley floors
A Gorgeous Dark Red Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff Series
Plus my first Rough-legged Hawks of the season and a report on the drastic changes at Bear River MBR.
A Sage Thrasher Fakes Out The Photographer
I pride myself on my ability to predict bird behaviors but as they say, pride goeth before a fall.
Chipping Sparrow Takeoff Series
Even though this bird from yesterday morning is what some folks would call “only a sparrow” two of the photos in this short series are already among my favorite takeoff or flight shots of any songbird species, ever.
White-crowned Sparrow In Roughly My Ideal Takeoff Posture
Except for a seemingly small but very aggravating detail this second photo might have been among my favorite songbird shots of all time, largely because of degree of difficulty and four unlikely strokes of good luck.
Snowy Egret Vertical Takeoff From Ten Years Ago Today
As I occasionally do I went archive-diving last night and ran across a series of Snowy Egret photos I like that I’ve never posted on Feathered Photography. Some of my inexperience in those days may show in the images but I still enjoy them and of course the reminiscing.
Cedar Waxwing Perched And Taking Off
Waxwing takeoff shots have been a goal of mine for some time and I finally succeeded two days ago in the Wasatch Mountains.
Juvenile Short-eared Owl – Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
I believe two of these images from yesterday may be among my personal best shots ever of a juvenile of this species taking off and in flight.
