Mourning Dove In Flight
My Spark Bird – Green-tailed Towhee From Yesterday Morning
The Green-tailed Towhee is understudied and remains one of North America’s least well-known birds. So my history with it is more than a little ironic.
American Bittern Taking Off And In Flight
The American Bittern is solitary and cryptically colored. Throw in its secretive nature and inaccessible habitats and you have a species that I rarely see so getting photos of one taking off and in flight made my day yesterday.
Some Ruby-crowned Kinglets (+ what the hell is a prv?)
Red-tailed Hawk At 23 MPH (my speed, not the hawk’s)
We do what we have to do to get the shot (as long as it’s safe for both bird and photographer).
An Ugly Photo With A Beautiful Function For Bird Lovers
Male and female Long-billed Curlews have identical plumage throughout the year so how do we tell them apart? This is the best single photo I’ve seen to show how.
Loggerhead Shrikes – A Pair Of Lovebirds
Shrikes have been an elusive subject for me for some time now so getting this mated pair in the frame together was a real treat.
Some Very Thoughtful Neighbors And A Progress Report On My Back Surgery
Field Marks Of A Juvenile Golden In Flight (landing)
Red-tailed Hawk Carrying Nesting Material To The Nest
Yesterday morning I found another pair of nest-building Red-tailed Hawks. Neither bird is a rufous color morph (like the female in the pair I’ve been photographing recently) but they’re still great photo subjects and I was able to document several interesting behaviors.
Western Meadowlark Triple Wing Stretch
Willet Wars
Horned Lark Taking Off Down The Runway
A shot I often try to get just for the challenge of it. And believe me, it’s a challenge.
Singing Western Meadowlark – An Accidental Success
Sometimes things go right even when you screw up. I just wish it happened more often.
