Feathered Photography

Do Raptors Ever Deliberately Drop Their Prey In Flight?

I believe that they do and this Rough-legged Hawk is a case in point.

I strongly prefer to photograph birds in early morning for a variety of reasons:

I often wonder what my life would have been like but for a small quirk of fate 58 years ago.

My title is warning enough that these photos are graphic but I believe this story must be told.

This selection of seven photos is a fairly representative cross-section of the bird species I’ve been seeing recently.

First let me set the stage for what’s going on here.

I’ve been pretty lucky at documenting Belted Kingfishers casting pellets.

I don’t often give pet names to my avian subjects but this adult Burrowing Owl seemed a natural fit for doing exactly that.

I always enjoy photographing redheads, be they human or avian…

I always enjoy a sequential series of images that shows action.
