the name down. I believe it is a species that lives in the far east(desert) areas but I'm afraid thats the extent of my knowledge, needless to say I took this at the Raptor Centre. I just fell in love with bird, the eye-lashes did it for me...I'm easily distracted so Name???? just focused on the eye-lashes..sorry, not a very good documentation....who couldn't fall in love with this face..he could be an author, an artist, just an all around interesting soul!.
went to island mere hide for the but only a couple of fleeting views but the marsh harriers showed well right in front of us but the light was terrible so with a high iso still struggled for sharp images
Talcott Mountain State Park, Simsbury, CT.
I found two youngins who were gracious enough to let me watch their extremely amateur morning hunt. Unfortunately, the light was horrendous due to this being on the West face of the mountain on a cloudy morning. So no action shots.
This was my first time hearing the hunger calls of a juvenile barred owl, which is a faint wheeze, unlike the piercing shrill of a young red-tailed hawk.
I didn't know this Peregrine Falcon was carrying prey when I photographed it. These birds are so fast its difficult to really appreciate it until you see it live.
