    Brunton Optics

    Okay, I just did a search and only two things came back, also asking questions with no answer. So, does anybody have a pair of these? I am looking at getting the eterna line, the 4008 model (10X42). I have tried them, and really like them. I know about Brunton and that they are relatively...

    Birding in Vancouver, Canada

    I will be at a conference (non-birding) in Vancouver, Canada from August 6 - 9. Won't have much time to bird, mostly on the 6th and in the evenings. Any one out there have experience with this area and places that are not more than about half an hour from Vancouver? I will have a car.

    Greater Sage-Grouse (part 2)

    Hello all, Though you are welcome to critique this, I am really putting it up so that you can see where I am at with it. I like it when others put up a photo that has been re-worked just to see if I was any where close on my suggestions. Many thanks to Ian and Paula for their critiques, which...

    Greater Sage-Grouse

    Don't want to be a hyprocrite, so I will be glad to post the first photo for critique. These males are amazing. This is a very large bird, about 28 inches long. They only do their mating ritual at dawn. Mostly clear skies, the sun had been up for about 10 minutes. Camera: Canon PowerShot...

    New Raptors Posted

    Since posting photos here takes up valuable bandwidth for which Steve has to pay, I have posted two new photos of raptors (one of two Bald Eagles, one of an adult Sharp-shinned Hawk) under my gallery. Take a look and leave a comment if you have the time. Maybe to help out Steve, since he...

    Immature Bald Eagle, Link Provided

    This is a larger photo, so am providing a link to save on bandwidth. This just seemed rather interesting to me to capture this immature with the Adults in the lower background. I normally would have cropped off that right side, I did not expect that adult to be flying in there, so I left it...

    Bald Eagles (group photo)

    There are just a few Bald Eagles in this one. If you are getting sick of me posting these, don't worry, they will be gone in another three weeks. Taken with Pro90IS with B-300 and TCON 14, about 100 yards (91.44 meters) out , camera settings were 1/160 shutter speed, aperture/f-stop 8.0...

    Okay, okay, you are the ones who started it...

    I have read all the posts about scopes, and am looking for practical advise. I am not looking to spend much money, but want the scope to be worth what I spend (under $400 US). The big "L" or "S" will have to come after children are not at home. In the meantime, I am missing some birds for...

    ??? Type of Cormorant

    This is not a photo I took, but a forum friend elsewhere asked me about the name of this Cormorant. Look familiar to anyone? The photo was taken in Israel very recently. http://www.pbase.com/image/12327757

    Bald Eagles - Link to Photo Attached

    I had mentioned a while ago that this is THE month to see Bald Eagles in Utah. Here is just a glimpse of what I saw yesterday. I am providing a link vs. an attachment to save Steve's bandwidth. Sorry for the poor lighting, it was the end of the day and clouding up. I will try to get one with...

    Will This Be The Next Olympic Event?

    I call it "Synchonized Predator/Predatee Flying". (Not as clean of a photo as I would like to post, but when I saw this it sure was not what I expected to happen). Bald Eagle on the left, Ring-billed Gull on the right.

    Pelicans are back early

    Here are a couple of photos I took yesterday. Normally, the American White Pelican does not come back until March. I saw 20 yesterday. This was at Farmington Bay. and I will post the other one in a "reply". I think these are magnificent birds, particularly when they fly.

    Bald Eagle (mature)

    (Hint, start opening this as you read since it is a larger file - I just time it, it takes 1 and a half minutes on a 28.8 connection, so not too bad.) I was waiting for the gallery to get up and running, but since they are still working out the bugs, I will go ahead and post here. This was...

    Other Utah Wildlife
