No Summer Reading Program is complete without some animals to get up close and personal with!

Kensington Metro Park, MI

Taken early, early in the morning somewhere along the coast of Queensland, Australia. I was supposed to camp there, but the mosquitos were too thick. April 2006. Rebel XT

Wedge Tail Eagle

Red Tail Hawk, looks large but reality it weighs in about 3 lbs, all fluff.

Gauntlet Birds of prey

Birds of Prey show - gorgeous owl. I love this picture because it's as if the owl is looking directly at me!

At the Caerphilly Big Cheese Festival, Caerphilly Castle.

Perfect trust from both sides as the huge eagle lands

I enjoyed myself so much on the first Introduction to Birds of Prey photograph that I decided to do it again. It was well worth it from my perspective so I hope that these shots reflect that. I tried to do slightly different things to last time and it helped that the barn owl was more co-operative this time with her flying.
