On Monday I went to Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge north of Salt Lake City. It was a poor day for raptors. In the following set, only the two shots on a "One Way" sign were taken in the refuge. All the others were taken going to and from the refuge.

I will post the eagle shots in a separate post.

N.B. If you have not reviewed Steve Perry's latest post on problems in winter shooting from lens hoods, DO IT. Half of my shots were not usable for exactly the reason that Steve pointed out.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Love the one on top of the One Way sign. Nowhere to go but up!

Some nice ones, Mike under difficult conditions. I assume you were shooting out your car window which might definitely lead to lens hood distortion.

You got some nice ones despite the cold and lens fogging.


Thanks, Dave, I learned and, hopefully, next time will produce more keepers.

Nice captures, Mike. I'm curious about the different tones in these images. Are they due to time of day? Or maybe direction of shoot?


Good observation, Kathy. These shots vary depending on time of day (they occurred over a three hour span), cloud cover changing and the different backgrounds. I find that the angle from which I take the shot affects the background (courtesy of some tips from UHHers). Also, the close up on the One Way sign was taken with a different camera from my car.

Must be a great place for photographers!


This trip was rather sparse, but during the Spring it is a wonderland, Elliott.

Beautiful little raptors Mike.


Thanks, Jim, I could not get those kestrels to look at me. At least the others gave me a glance. I will post the eagle shots later.
