Male American Kestrel On A Really Skinny Stick
These photos are the epitome of the bird photography style known as “bird on a stick”. But at least it’s a natural stick and he did “salute” me to make up for it.
Male Northern Harrier In Flight Against A Difficult Background
These photos are examples of a type of flight shot that is very difficult to get sharp.
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.

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.

The Peregrine Falcon And The Coot
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.
