Some Recent Birds (+ a rocket test… yes, really)
Occasionally I like to do a “potpourri post” featuring some of the recent birds I’ve photographed that have fallen through the cracks of my blog.

This Is What Can Happen When A Red-tailed Hawk Nest Is Blown Down
The shortsightedness and thoughtlessness of mankind aren’t the only threats to nesting birds. Natural events can play a role too.
Green-tailed Towhee – Another One Came In Close!
Common Nighthawks – Why Do They Keep Their Eyes Closed When They’re perched?
Yellow Warbler
Green-tailed Towhee – My “Spark” Bird
I haven’t been this excited about photographing a bird in a very long time (more about why that’s true at the end of this post if you have the stamina to get through it…).
Red-tailed Hawk Takeoff And Flight Series
I believe this to be the male of the Red-tailed Hawk pair I’ve been following since early spring.
Bald Eagle Eating Lunch On The Wing
One of the reasons I like this image is because the eagle’s white head and the light fish are highlighted so well against the dark wing.
Swainson’s Hawk – A Diagonal Takeoff
A Grumpy-looking Red-tailed Hawk…
Grooming Loggerhead Shrike
Black-headed Grosbeak (and one of my photographic mantras reinforced)
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight Over A Hillside
This is the male of the nesting pair of Red-tailed Hawks I’ve been photographing recently.
The Kingfisher Is Back!
And this time there’s two of them, though I don’t yet know if either one is my old friend. This one isn’t, for sure.
My Kind Of Raptor Country
Birds aren’t the only itch of mine to be scratched by my addiction to bird photography.
