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.

Rough-legged Hawk On A Rabbit Kill

After a long time where they’ve been difficult to find on Antelope Island I’m finally beginning to see Chukars again.
A Triple Dose Of Serendipity
They say that bad news comes in threes. Maybe sometimes the good stuff happens in triplets too.
