The Stories Behind My Images
Late Summer Barn Swallow Images
When I took these Barn Swallow images earlier this week I wondered if the swallows I was photographing would be my last images of them this year.
Immature Light Morph Ferruginous Hawk
Yesterday on the last full day of summer I found a couple of hawks in the West Desert including this immature light morph Ferruginous Hawk.
Migrating Greater Yellowlegs
Greater Yellowlegs migrate starting in the summer until late in the fall and return early in the spring. I will be seeing them until about December here in Utah.
Ring-billed Gull Perched On A Wooden Pole
When I saw this Ring-billed Gull perched on a wooden pole at Farmington Bay WMA last week I knew I wanted to have it in my viewfinder.
Immature Light Morph Red-tailed Hawk Plus A Dark Morph Adult
When I spotted the light colored breast of this immature light morph Red-tailed Hawk from a distance it seemed to glow in the morning light.
Franklin’s Gull Flying In A Smoky Sky
I have a soft spot for gulls so when I had the opportunity two days ago to photograph this Franklin's Gull flying in a smoky sky I was both excited and thrilled.
The Stories Behind My Images
Jordan River Mallard Drake
I took this low light Mallard drake photo yesterday while I walked along the Jordan River in the chill of the early morning.
Greater Yellowlegs Trio In Early Morning Light
While I was at Farmington Bay WMA two days ago I saw a small flock of Greater Yellowlegs foraging, preening and resting in the wetlands in early morning light.
Band-winged and Striped Meadowhawk Dragonfly Photos
At Farmington Bay WMA yesterday I saw and photographed two kinds of meadowhawk dragonflies including this Band-winged Meadowhawk resting on a boulder.
Calling Ring-billed Gull Tongue
Late last month I had the opportunity to take portraits of a calling Ring-billed Gull while I was looking for birds at Farmington Bay WMA.
