Prairie Falcon With A Few Surprises In Store For Me
Bird photographers never know what we’ll see in our photos that we didn’t notice in the field. My shots of this Prairie Falcon taken two days ago surprised me in more ways than one.
Female American Kestrel In Flight
This shot from yesterday morning came very close to being one of my favorite kestrel photos of all time.

Ferruginous Hawk In One Of My Favorite Raptor Takeoff Postures

Migrating Yellow-rumped Warblers
