A Grebe And A Coot – What’s Going On Here?
Sometimes in the heat of the moment I get a shot that’s just a little bit different. Maybe even a whole lot different…
A Sora Actually Out In The Open
A Red-tailed Hawk And A Vole – Before And After The Meal
Don’t worry, there’s nothing gory in this short “before and after the meal” series. And I’ve also included a bit of a raptor biology lesson.
Peregrine Falcon On A Duck Kill
Male American Kestrel Trying To Swallow A Frozen Tail
Grebe With A Big Fish And Two First-of-season Bird Species – Yay!
Barn Swallow Adult And Fledgling – Finally, Perfect Timing
Magpie With A Praying Mantis Egg Case (and an ingenious food strategy)
Back-To-Back American Kestrels – Male And Female With Prey
I got relatively close to two kestrels, a male and a female, both with prey, within four minutes. Miracles do happen…
Juvenile and Adult Swainson’s Hawks – A Feeding Session
