Hawk

Posted By Tyler Allred
I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time for many photos. But today I ran across this hawk on the side of the road and stopped for a quick shot. I'm guessing that it is a juvenile red-tailed hawk, but I'm not certain. It could also be a Swainson's.

Hawk Moth - of some sort?

Posted By Tyler Allred
This large moth appeared at our camp on my recent trip to central Utah. It was about 2 to 2.5 inches in length. Upon closer inspection, it was missing the front two legs on the right side. You can see that they don't appear in the photo.
Cheers,
Tyler

Autumn Leaves

Posted By Tyler Allred
This is another photo from my recent trip to central Utah. The colors were just amazing, including the sky. I used a circular polarizer with my Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8 to capture this image. The polarizer helps to bring out the dark blue sky. This photo was resized only and wasn't processed in any other way.
Cheers,
Tyler

Red-Tailed Hawk - Soaring

Posted By Tyler Allred
This was taken today near Heber City, Utah. I have seen many of these this last week, but this is the first one that circled into a decent photo position. I didn't use a polarizer on this, but the sky sure turned out blue. The image was cropped, resized to 1/2 original resolution, and then slightly re-sharpened.
Cheers,
Tyler

Cedar Waxwing

Posted By Tyler Allred
These have been all over my worksite for the last few weeks. I finally got a decent shot today. They have been eating the hawthorne berries.

Another immature hawk

Posted By Tyler Allred
This may be the same bird that I photographed the other day. Today, he was posing at a different angle, and I got a little closer.

Sandhill Cranes - In Flight

Posted By Tyler Allred
The sandhills are really congregating in Heber Valley. I would estimate that I saw over 200 today. I managed a few photos as they flew past.

Dare to be Different

Posted By Tyler Allred
This small group of scrub oaks looked a little out of place. It was the only one as far as the eye could see. This was taken on my recent trip to central Utah, west of Richfield.
