Western Meadowlark Singing And Stretching
Three days ago I spent the morning on Antelope Island and for the first time this year I noticed a significant increase in bird presence and activity.
Mrs. Red-tailed Hawk Meets Mr. Murphy
Fourteen photos of this spectacularly beautiful hawk perched, taking off and in flight. But yesterday Mr. Murphy showed up.
Sandhill Cranes And A Chukar From Yesterday Morning
Male Mountain Bluebird In Flight (plus a lesson in sharpness)
Singing Yellow Warbler
An early dose of springtime.
Maybe a singing songbird will melt some of our snow and drive away my wintertime blues.
Male American Kestrel At Takeoff
Female Hooded Merganser With A Weather Loach
A sudden wind gust can sure raise havoc with the results of a recent trip to the beauty salon.
A Different Perspective On A Barn Owl In Flight
But first a more traditional look at a perched Barn Owl for those who may not appreciate the composition of the flight shot.
Barn Owl In Flight Yesterday Morning (plus an earthquake going bump in the night)

Black-billed Magpie Takeoff From A Thicket
The Killing Bite Of The American Kestrel
Voles are by far the most common prey item I see American Kestrels with but occasionally I find them with a mouse or a small bird. This time, on a cold and snowy morning at Farmington Bay WMA, it was a mouse and it was still very much alive.
Feeding Behaviors Of Pied-billed Grebes

Tundra Swan In Flight Against A Multilayered Background
I like bird photography that includes significant hints at habitat. That goal is typically more difficult to achieve with flight shots than static shots but it can be done and this image is an example.
Male Northern Harrier Stomping On A Vole
And in this context I do mean stomping. First a brief explanation of the behavior, one I’ve seen multiple times with this species but have only rarely been able to photograph.
