Swainson's Hawk

Posted By Tyler Allred
This is a young bird (I think) that belongs to the Swainson's that I posted earlier (posted as a red-tailed hawk). I think Cal was right about the ID... it does look more like a Swainson's than a red-tailed, especially when in flight.
Cheers,
Tyler

Rufous Hummer in My Flowers

Posted By Tyler Allred
I took this today as I arrived home from work. I opened the door of the truck, gathered my camera gear, and started toward the door. This bird was getting a snack along the walk to my door, so I snapped a few frames. Here is one.

The light was just perfect tonight at Utah Lake. I thought I would share this, even though it is not a bird. 8)

Lucky Shot

Posted By Tyler Allred
I got very lucky with this one. I followed this snowy egret in the viewfinder and snapped a few frames. Later, when I reviewed the shots, I found this one. I just happened to shoot it as it flew by the moon. The red evening light on the bird was just wonderful, and the moon was a real bonus. No photoshop on this.... I promise. The image was just cropped and resized for posting. Sometimes you get lucky! grin

Humorous Greeting Card Cover Shot

Posted By Tyler Allred
I was thinking about a title for this shot.... perhaps "Thinking of You!!" would be good. grin Anyone have other suggestions?
Cheers,

BTW - I actually called this fox in to my position by using a small predator call. I blew on the call a dozen times or so, and this fox appeared within a minute. I couldn't believe it.

Rufous Hummingbird - Subadult Male

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hi all. Finally, some hummers have showed up at my feeders. This one is defending the backyard feeder from all others. It is a real go-getter! I posted this one at native resolution... but cropped to 800x600.

A couple of Great Blue Heron pics

Posted By Tyler Allred
I've been too busy to post anything for the last couple of weeks... but I just got one large thing off my plate. YeeeeHaaaaww!! I thought these heron photos turned out nice. They are cropped and resized to about 1/4 original resolution.
Cheers,

A few more bird pics

Posted By Tyler Allred
This white-faced Ibis was catching the light just right to display those irridescent feathers.
