Some Christmas Memories

My chance to wish a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday Season to all of my readers. And to express some of what the season means to me at this stage in my life.

Fighting Male Ring-necked Pheasants

Almost a miracle shot, given the conditions.

Male American Kestrel Posing In Side Light

One takeoff shot and one flight shot. I think the takeoff posture I captured is pretty special, even if I did bugger it up.

Barn Owl Being Chased By His Shadow
