Ferruginous Hawk Coming At Me
The background is blue sky (not my favorite) but it’s a Ferruginous Hawk, it was close and it was flying straight at me. For me all three of those factors have strong appeal.
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.
Canada Goose Serendipity

I often pay nearly as much attention to my failed takeoff and flight shots as I do to my successes.
Farmington Follies
During hunting season you just never know what strange sights you might see at Farmington Bay.
