Willet – Two Shots I Like And One That Broke My Heart
I got many photos I like of this bird but I screwed up on the only one that could have been spectacular.

Willet Wars
Willet In Flight Showing Off Those Flashy Wing Patterns
Sometimes I should be much more careful when choosing a single image from a series to post on Feathered Photography.
Peekaboo Willet
Soon the Willets on Antelope Island will mostly leave the island proper (if they haven’t already) and move down to the shoreline of the lake where they’re less accessible so for the last several weeks I’ve been striking while the iron is hot and photographing them at every opportunity.
Willets On The Rocks
Plus yet another Willet mystery but this one involves shadows rather than behavior.
Willet On Sagebrush
A Couple Of Willet Takeoffs
Willet – Allowing Enough Room For Wings At Take-off
Many things can go wrong when photographing birds at take-off and clipping wings is at or near the top of the list. The amount of room the photographer needs to allow for raised (or lowered) wings is hugely deceiving. Sure, you may catch the wings in a horizontal position without clipping them but that position is generally much less desirable.
Willet – A Flashy Transformation
I’ve been noticing Willets on Antelope Island for a week now but until yesterday I’ve been unable to get close to any of them.
Wispy Willet (and the effects of bokeh on an image)
The background bokeh of an image can have a huge impact on the overall aesthetic quality of an image.
A Willet, An Impaled Pellet And A Photographer Caught By Surprise
After eight years of photographing birds it’s not every day that I see something new but yesterday I did.
Willet – The Transformation Of An Avian Chameleon
With its wings folded the plump, drab-plumaged Willet is brown and inconspicuous but a remarkable transformation takes place when those wings are opened.
A Clumsy Willet
Occasionally a bird will have trouble maintaining stability on its perch and the results can be entertaining.
Willet Take-off
Yesterday morning I found this Willet perched on one of the Tintic Quartzite boulders so common on the northern part of Antelope Island. The Willets are still active on the higher slopes of the island but it won’t be long until they’re spending most of their time along the shoreline and causeway.
Willets On Antelope Island
Willets aren’t flashy birds but right now they’re very conspicuous on Antelope Island because they’ve come up higher on the slopes for their spring mating activities.
