My best: Common Raven along the Antelope Island
causeway, from October 27, 2017.
After a day of birding at Antelope Island, I was heading for
home on the causeway when I spotted a pair of Ravens off the
side of the road. I pulled over and got out to watch and take
photos, but it wasn't until another car zoomed by and startled
them into flight that I got any really good shots. I struggle
with photographing birds in flight, so I was astonished when I
looked at the photos on the computer and realized that this one
had turned out so well--bird in focus, well exposed, and with a
clear blue-sky background to boot!

My favorite: Female Rufous Hummingbird at Nebo
Bench, from August 5, 2017. Nebo Bench was one of my favorite
places to bird last summer, since the higher elevation was
wonderful for escaping the heat. This little sweetheart was
buzzing around the wildflowers on the mountainside, drinking
from them, and she happened to look straight at me right as I
snapped this shot. If you look closely, you can see a little
yellow speck of pollen on the tip of her bill. I was very
pleased to get a hummingbird photo that didn't include a plastic
feeder!

three photos with the three jays and none of them are great but
