A mallard drake powering up the pond towards me as I left to go home. This was the last in-focus shot of the morning. I threw out over a hundred failed attempts at flight captures.

I reached 21 million views early today! Thank you very much to all those who have looked at my photos!

A little blue heron with its eye on dinner, or it could be checking itself out in natures version of a mirror.

This bird was shot in lighting conditions I hate, bright high noon sunshine.

Hunting Short-eared Owl

Reddish Egret, juvenile

You can not only tell by its eyes when something has a Coyotes attention but also by its ears.

Le deuxième Petit duc à sortir de la cavité nous a donné beaucoup d'émotions. Il grimpait, retombait, regrimpait. Le voici prenant une petite pause tout en observant l'arbre sur lequel il devra faire un nouvel essai.

The second Eastern Screech Owl owlet to come out of the cavity gave us a lot of emotion to watch. It was climbing, then falling and reclimbing again. Here it is taking a little pause observing the tree on which to give it another try.

Bonne journée à vous tous ! Enjoy your day !

C'est la première fois que j'assistais à ce genre de compétition et j'avoue que c'est très impressionnant. J'ai vraiment senti la puissance que le groupe propulse lors de chaque passage.

I am a relatively inexperienced bird photographer and am still getting used to the optics of a telephoto lens compared to a macro lens that I am much more used to. The photo was taken quite late in the afternoon and shot at 4000 ISO and f/7.1. I like the softness of the image.

Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the kind comments and faves very much.

… this guy is busy cleaning up a scratch from the top of his left forearm. Kept at it until satisfied, despite the horrible faces his younger ‘cousins’ were pulling on the other side of his window.

He then turned his back and walked away in a most dignified way, completely ignoring his unruly audience.
