Yesterday Was A Very Good Day For Chukars On Antelope Island
My day began and ended with Chukars, with quite a few interesting birds in-between. (16 photos)
A Corvid In Flight And A Buteo With Prey
A Pronghorn Buck, A Rock Wren And Some Antelope Island Geology
Chubby Chukar Wing And Leg Stretch
A Celebratory Lark Sparrow
Some folks might wonder why I would celebrate a Lark Sparrow but for me this classy looking (for a sparrow at least) songbird was a bit of a milestone.
Willets On The Rocks
Plus yet another Willet mystery but this one involves shadows rather than behavior.
Vesper Sparrow On Tintic Quartzite
LBJ’s (little brown jobs) don’t get enough attention from bird photographers, including me on Feathered Photography, so this post is part of my effort to rectify the situation.
Chukar Calling In Warm Light
There’s many things I like about this shot and only one I don’t. A ratio that good doesn’t happen often enough with this bird photographer.
Sage Thrashers Hunting Bugs On Antelope Island (and the misery of biting gnats)
The island is teeming with bugs right now and nesting Sage Thrashers are taking advantage of the situation.
Three Iconic Birds Of Antelope Island
If you visit Antelope Island to photograph birds this time of year your memory card will likely include more images of these three species than any other.
Chukar Calling At Dawn
Shrike Take-off Against A Smoky Background (plus an Antelope Island raptor report)
Birds were generally slow on Antelope Island yesterday morning but this Loggerhead Shrike saved the day.
Calling Chukar (and the frustrations of bright perches)
Chukar Negotiating A Slippery Slope
Chukars prefer not to fly and they don’t like to slip and fall so they’re very careful when negotiating slippery, steep surfaces.
