A great grey owl steps off a birch snag to check out some vole activity nearby. I always underestimate how long their wings are, I left room above the owl when framing in the camera, but as you can see, my mental calculation was off.
I really like the large number of large snowflakes coming down. And the bits of snow falling off its head as it launched.

One of the great egrets at Audubon Park taking flight to find another stick for the nest! Ardea alba.
Captured in: Callicoon, NY.
Pictured here is the launch and subsequent explosion of a fireworks rocket & shell during a fireworks show. The image was captured during an annual July 4th event held in upstate NY.
My brother-in-law was part of the pyrotechnics team that was running the show, so we were fortunate to get an up-close and personal view of the launch area.
I found this one while recently looking back through the archives. ;) Not sure why I never got around to posting it, especially as I happened to really like the shot.

Any springtime visit to Grasslands National Park is almost certain to be a lark. Oops, I mean any visitor. Well, any little brown and yellow, winged visitor. I've never seen more Meadowlarks in one place and certainly never more of these constantly moving, fast flying Horned Larks.
I was feeling very strange.

One of my favorite shore birds here are the Pelicans. They are not as friendly as their very southern cousins but that just makes them a challenge to capture...so stalking Pelicans has become a past-time for me here!
I was lucky enough to catch this fellow’s launch off of a dock piling in the sound on my way home from a visit to my daughter. I had to sneak up behind things to get close enough and altho I missed getting the tip of his wing, I was pretty happy because they are usually more than just this one step ahead of me!
Ospreys always seem highly motivated for the Christmas Bird Count on Armand Bayou. This one was ready to go right at sunrise.
This church (on the fortress island of Suomenlinna, near Helsinki) was originally Russian Orthodox, but at a later point it was converted to Lutherian and its onion domes were knocked down, leaving it looking a little bit odd. It reminded me of a rocket on a launch pad.

A portion of the wintering population of Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I love the running crane with the bit of splash.
