Belted Kingfisher – A Nemesis Finally “Conquered”
I’ve been after quality images of Belted Kingfishers for years with very little success. Until yesterday.
Foggy, Low Light Barn Owl In Flight – My Sharpness Issues May Be Over

Bald Eagle – A Welcome And Unusual Visitor To My Yard
More Lens Woes
Male Green-tailed Towhee Singing His Little Heart Out
Northern Harrier Takeoff In A Snowy Setting (+ some processing tips)
Juvenile Burrowing Owl Acting A Little Silly
