Spotted in an Oak Tree while out walking in Holland-on sea.This is an escapee captive bird from two miles up the road.Great to see it sitting in a tree.
There were around 8 to 10 kites and some seagulls circling over the house yesterday evening, I think some of our neighbors are leaving food out for them. I think that some of the kites are young/recently fledged, they seemed to be ‘playing’, swooping towards each other & then veering away at the last second.
It's Buzzard time again at last,At this time of the year it's easier to spot them'Usually mid afternoon after hunting they sit on a perch content
Testing out the new fujifilm xt-2 and 100-400 lens. I still have a lot to learn about this system. I think I have to work extra hard to get good shots with this tool compared to my previous Canon system.
Carrabelle, Florida, a historic working community, is located right on the Gulf of Mexico in the eastern Florida Panhandle. A true fishing village, its people have been harvesting from the sea for more than 100 years.
Had the most awesome day at Claire Carter and Hawkeye Bird of Prey Photography Workshop in Thoresby Park. A privilege to get close to such beautiful birds and I learned such a lot about bird photography that I hope I can put in to practice in future. My photos (just a few here out of 100s I took today) are pale imitations of what is achievable but I'm happy with (some of) my efforts with limited kit.
The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the "chickenhawk," though it rarely preys on standard sized chickens. It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common buteos in North America. Red-tailed Hawks can acclimate to all the biomes within their range
The Red-tailed Hawk occupies a wide range of habitats and altitudes, including deserts, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous forests, tropical rainforests, agricultural fields and urban areas. It lives throughout the North American continent, except in areas of unbroken forest or the high arctic. It is legally protected in Canada, Mexico and the United States by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Because they are so common and easily trained as capable hunters, the majority of hawks captured for falconry in the United States are Red-tails. Falconers are permitted to take only passage hawks (which have left the nest, are on their own, but are less than a year old) so as to not affect the breeding population
Other than cropping, there is no editing. I wish the adult bald eagles would be as accommodating! As it was, I stood on the bank of the river for a good hour and a half before I saw any action.. well, other than black flies and mosquitos!! : )
