Immature Swainson’s Hawk Amongst The Sunflowers
There are more very similar colors in these photos than you can shake the proverbial stick at.
Yesterday’s Turkey Vultures
I don’t post photos of Turkey Vultures often but yesterday, International Vulture Awareness Day, was perfect timing to have an encounter with them.
Northern Harrier – How Gaze Stabilization Saved An Interesting Photo
It took me years to realize what saved this image. Prepare yourself for some photo and bird geekiness as I explain.
Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk – The Rest Of The Story

Yesterday’s Red-tailed Hawk
