A Peregrine Falcon And A Frozen Coot
Yesterday morning went from bust to boom at the very last minute possible and it was a Peregrine Falcon that saved my bacon.
Tag: takeoff
Canada Goose Running On Water (including differing perspectives)
When I’m able to capture photos like these I realize that I don’t aim my lens at Canada Geese as often as I should.
Rough-legged Hawk Leaving And Returning From A Hunting Trip
Some of my posts are heavy on words and light on photos. This one is just the opposite.
Prairie Falcon Takeoff
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight (six image series)
Spotted Towhee In A Weird Takeoff Posture
Or perhaps it was a threat posture. Or a combination of both. Either way I thought it was a little bizarre.
Antelope Island Potpourri From Yesterday Morning
Including an American Goldfinch, a Red-winged Blackbird and a Prairie Falcon in flight.
Belted Kingfisher Takeoff And Flight Series
An Unexpected Topside View Of A White-crowned Sparrow At Takeoff
Ruby-crowned Kinglet – A Sideways Takeoff
Golden Eagle Takeoff And Flight Series
If my bird photography success rate was as low as the accuracy rate of weather forecasters I think I’d sell my camera gear and hang it up…
Ruby-crowned Kinglets – Dynamos Of The Bird World
Yellow-rumped Warbler – Vertical Takeoff After A “Bug”
It’s the third photo in this series that I like so much – mostly because anything like it has been so damned hard to get with these little speedsters.
Prairie Falcon Attempting An Incognito Takeoff
High perches are unusual in the flat bottomland expanses of Montana’s huge Centennial Valley so the few that exist can be a draw for raptors and other birds.
Lark Sparrow At Takeoff…
and one reason bird photographers need to be both quick and lucky. I’m only including this first image to help me make my point.
