This adult Bald Eagle showed unusual tolerance toward a brazen and seemingly clueless immature companion.
Adult Bald Eagle Coming In For A Landing On Ice
Northern Harrier Takeoff Series
Normally I try to avoid posting photos of the same species to my blog on consecutive days but this series, taken yesterday morning at Farmington Bay WMA, called for an exception. The following four photos are consecutive shots in a burst without any skips.
Male American Kestrel In Hoarfrost
I’m a big fan of hoarfrost in my bird photos, especially when the bird is as colorful and beautiful as the male American Kestrel.
A Common Raven And His Shadow At Takeoff
A common species in both name and occurrence but around here at least ravens are uncommonly difficult to photograph well.
If You Think Birds Don’t Notice The Little Things…

Adult Bald Eagle Snagging A Fish Out Of The Water
Plus my worst bad habit as a photographer (I have other bad habits but most of them don’t involve photography).
Confrontation Between Adult Bald Eagles

Red-tailed Hawk Perched, Taking Off And In Flight
Raptors have several behavioral quirks that bird photographers who lust after takeoff and flight shots should be very familiar with because they signal imminent takeoff. Yesterday morning near Farmington Bay WMA this immature Red-tailed Hawk knew all the choreographed moves and performed most of them on cue.
