A Frosty Rough-legged Hawk At Dawn
The Rough-legged Hawk is an arctic species but even so this one must have been uncomfortably cold.
Ring-necked Ducks – What’s In A Name?
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” With apologies to the Bard I must disagree with Juliet. I think names matter.
Loggerhead Shrikes Impaling Prey
Common Goldeneye Pair – A Vicious Lover’s Quarrel?
Male Rough-legged Hawk At Takeoff
I’ve taken the low-road with this beautiful hawk and done some significant image manipulation in one version of the photo..

Swainson’s Hawk Regurgitating Pellets, Then I Dissected Them
This hawk actually expelled two pellets and I was able to photograph (and dissect) both of them.
