could not believe my luck on the way to titchwell with this lovely kite in the very early morning sun in a tree right beside me
From one of the wonderful mornings at sea last weekend, together with the white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla).
We met 17 of them in total that morning, among about 1/5 of the islets surrounding the island I´m from.
This one is a male, ringed and called N4 62, and it was nearly 9 years old when I photographed it.
It was ringed in a nest in Tysvær, one hour and so by car south of the island I'm from called Bømlo, where it has spent its adult life.
(Havørn in Norwegian)

This Eagle, and all following bird photo's were taken at the "Birds of Prey" Avian Center in Awendaw, South Carolina. This organization does a fantastic job rehabbing these raptors and eventually releasing them back into the wild.http://www.thecenterforbirdsofprey.org/
Sunnyvale, CA. Two local cooper`s hawks are nesting in the neighborhood and spending a lot of time in the trees near the streets, providing some excellent views for passerbys.
It's 12mths since I was taking pics of a family of 6 Ospreys in Hyannis,great sight to see them at close range,with their nest platform next to a public carpark flying about above😊.No such adventures this year😐
Osprey watching me shoot pictures of him. It's eye was piercing right through me! They are not afraid of humans at all so you can get much closer to one than a hawk. Kept waiting for it to grab a fish but after an hour, we gave up and then as soon as we did, of course, it grabbed a fish and flew away! lol
Barred Owl
The Barred Owl (Strix varia), or Northern Barred Owl, is a true owl native to eastern North America. Adults are large, and are brown to grey with barring on the chest. Barred owls have expanded their range to the west coast of the United States, where they are considered invasive. Mature forests are their preferred habitat, but they are also found in open woodland areas. Their diet consists mainly of small mammals, but they are also known to prey upon other small animals such as reptiles and amphibians.
