Short-eared Owl With An Interesting Habit
Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey
Male Short-eared Owl In Flight With Prey
What to do when horrid lighting conditions make it next to impossible to photograph birds in flight but Short-eared Owls with prey are flying by close?
My Most Thrilling Prairie Falcon Encounter (and continuing story) Ever
It was an incredible experience for me to actually learn the life history of a Prairie Falcon I’d photographed in the wilds of southwest Montana.,
Merlin In Warm Light (plus some falconry and family history)
Maybe I have falconry blood in my veins and perhaps that’s part of my interest in raptors…
Weathering The Storm
Current events in Florida have me thinking about storms and survival for both humans and birds.
A Merlin With Meadowlark Prey
This series, which includes both before and after photos, dramatically illustrates the effects of fog on our images.

Where Have All The Raptors Gone?
I know my title sounds like a Peter, Paul and Mary song but this is a serious question that I become more concerned about with each passing day.
Barbed Wire Fences – More Good Than Bad For Short-eared Owls?
