Bald Eagles And The “Good Old Days” At Farmington Bay
This morning I felt like reminiscing a little about the old days at Farmington Bay and the Bald Eagles there in winter.

Juvenile Red-tailed Hawk Hunting Near Frary Peak
Adult Red-tailed Hawk In Flight And A Plug For Rehab Organizations
Chances of photographic success with this hawk when it took off were low but I aimed my lens in its direction anyway.
A Prairie Falcon Bonanza
Last week in Montana’s Centennial Valley I witnessed a Prairie Falcon phenomenon that was completely unexpected. In fact I’d go as far as to say it blew me away – to the jaw-dropping point.
Centennial Valley Golden Eagle (and a brief camping trip report)
I didn’t see as many Golden Eagles on my camping trip as I hoped to but I was pleased that this one allowed me a reasonably close approach.
Swainson’s Hawk (and the wire we cannot see)
Yesterday morning I inadvertantly flushed this Swainson’s Hawk off prey as I drove a remote dirt road in the Centennail Valley.
A Serendipitous Male Northern Harrier (and my trip from hell…)
During my camping trips I’ve learned to expect the unexpected, both good and bad. But so far this trip has been over the top with the latter.
A Prairie Falcon Kind Of Morning
Ferruginous Hawk Looking For And Finding (mystery) Nesting Material
Ferruginous Hawks use sticks, twigs, ground debris, bark, sod, cow dung and even bones as nesting material but I have no idea what this bird picked up and flew away with.
Red-tailed Hawk In Flight, Including Natural Habitat
In my flight shots the bird is typically large in the frame but there’s often a tradeoff with that type of photo.
Golden Eagle In Flight
I’ve struggled more getting images I like of Golden Eagles than I have with any other species.
Red-tailed Hawk Seriously Startled By A “Dead” And Headless Snake
Sometimes a snake isn’t as dead as it seems to be (and that can scare the dickens out of a predator).
Mated Swainson’s Hawks Of Different Color Morphs
Perhaps there’s something nurturing for Swainson’s Hawks about this particular power pole.
A Raptor, Ducks In Flight And A Lifer From Montana’s Centennial Valley
Usually my blog focuses on a single species but today’s post is a bit of a potpourri.
Red-tailed Hawk With A Snake
Red-tailed Hawks are known to prey on snakes but it’s something I’ve not seen often and I’d never documented it well.
