The Stories Behind My Images
Photographing My First of the Year American White Pelicans
I drove up to Farmington Bay WMA yesterday morning because it looked like there was going to be some nice light and because the forecast for the next week looks rather dismal for bird photography and I'm so very glad I went because I was able to photograph my first of the year American White Pelicans.
Calling Ring-billed Gull Close Up In Salt Lake County
It isn't all that often that I am able to photograph a calling Ring-billed Gull close enough that I can get a great view of the inside of its bill so when the opportunity presented itself earlier this week I took advantage of the situation.
Winter Great Blue Heron Photographed Close To Home
Two days ago on my immature Double-crested Cormorant post I mentioned that prior to photographing the cormorant that I had been taking images of a Great Blue Heron, these two photos are of that heron.
An Abundance Of Foraging American Robins
Two afternoons ago when I left the local pond to head home I saw at least 75-100 foraging American Robins in some crabapple trees and on the ground in the snow.
Landing Immature Double-crested Cormorant Seeking Safety
This immature Double-crested Cormorant appears to be molting and probably needs all the rest it can get because of the molt and because winter is hard on these overwintering cormorants.
Male American Kestrel In A Tree At Farmington Bay
I took a long series of photos of this male American Kestrel in a tree at Farmington Bay WMA back in January and decided that I liked these two photos of the kestrel the best.
The Stories Behind My Images
Leucistic Canada Goose
I didn't see any American Robins feeding on crabapples yesterday but I did find a leucistic Canada Goose at my local pond.
Winter American Robins
There is a skiff of snow on the ground again this morning and it has reminded me that I should look for winter American Robins feeding on crabapples today.
Male American Kestrel Chest Plumage Variation
Two recent posts on Facebook inspired me to write about male American Kestrel chest plumage variation and to share six images of male kestrels photographed here in Utah.
Third Winter American Herring Gull Photos
Earlier this month I was able to take third winter American Herring Gull photos at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge on the ice from the auto tour route.
