Belted Kingfisher Beating Up On A Fish
They say that a little motion blur can be a good thing because of the action it implies. I’m far from convinced that’s true but opinions may (or may not) vary.
Barn Owl Flying Over The Phrags
Canada Geese In Flight With A Snowy Mountain Background
I realize that some folks aren’t big fans of Canada Geese. But I’ve got’em, I shoot what’s available and if I like the photos I post’em.
And I like these.
Male American Kestrel In Light So Warm It May Border On Too Warm
American Coot Wing-flapping Series
It may be (only?) a coot but I really like the image quality of this eight photo series taken yesterday afternoon.
Great Horned Owl In Flight
Man, does this photo ever bring back memories from long ago! It was taken on May 16, 2007 and it was the first flight shot of any bird I ever attempted.

Some history of the “glory days” with Bald Eagles at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area and some thoughts on what potentially happened to those days.

For me at least Peregrine Falcons are usually unapproachable but occasionally when they’ve had prey I’ve been able to get close enough for quality photos. That’s why I appreciate the sacrifice of this American Coot.
The Value Of Takeoff Shot Failures
I often pay nearly as much attention to my failed takeoff and flight shots as I do to my successes.
A Very Expensive Great Horned Owl
Destinations, Part II
This is a little sooner than I anticipated but here’s the sequel to yesterday’s post.

Winter is dreaming time for me but this year I’m starting a little early and fantasizing more often.
