I was walking along minding my own business when I heard a “Who”. When I looked up high into the oak tree I saw this great looking Owl. The Great Horned Owl. I was able to taken a few shots and then let him/her alone. I love getting a good image and then leaving them…
A friend of my has a boat dock with an Osprey next 20 feet from the dock. You can get close enough to watch and take images without being too close and upsetting the birds. This day, I was lucky to be there where their dinner arrived. I love how the wings are fully open…
I was out in our neighbor when I saw his gator. The coolest part of these images, at least to me, is there is a spider walking on his/her eyelid. You can see it in the reflection in the water. There is a LOT of detail in the image. The gator was on…
I had fun recently. I am a member of Canon’s CPS program- Canon Professional Service. This entitles me to try almost anything Canon makes for 10 days. So, I thought I’d try the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x. The lens is a beast. It is very sharp but that comes with some negatives-…
So since it wasn’t raining today, I thought I’d go take some birds pics. Long story short- I spent the afternoon in the ER. While I was shooting this Red-shouldered Hawk I was bitten by some ants. 10 minutes later I was swelling up and had hives. I went to ER, they took me right away….
This is 1 of the 2 Adolescent Bald Eagles that we have in the area. They are around 9 months old. I’ve been photographing over that time period but this is the first time he/she came and sat outside my window. He/she likes to sit there and squawk and make noise. I don’t mind. I…
The Osprey hawk visited today and sat and posed for me. I love the detail in his/her feathers. Also I love the death stare. There are 3 Osprey that fly around in our area. This one sat while the other 2 were flying high above. This was taken with Canon 70D with Canon 100-400mm II…
We had a visitor the other day. At first I didn’t see him/her. Blended so well into the tree. But then, I saw the eyes. The bright yellow eyes staring back at me. It was a Great Horned Owl. It sat there for a few minutes. Just long enough for me to grab my camera…
Well, not actually right at me. The Bald Eagle looks as if it were coming at me on this take off but it flew above and to the right of me. I guess wearing the bunny ears worked. Just kidding. I love the look on its face. Great stare. Not sure what I would have done if it…
I spent the morning watching this family of bald eagles. I watched as the male left to get food. And I watched as the female sat above and in front of the next protecting the baby. Can’t wait to get images of the baby flying. Stay tuned…
