Unmistakable with its reddish-brown body and forked tail the Red Kite is our favourite (indigenous to the UK) Bird of Prey
This one on a low level search for it's lunch., which is usually carrion.... yup dead animals
Your Falcons and Hawks with their speed and manoeuvrability ideally designed to 'hunt-down and kill'.,
The Larger Kite however mainly having to scavenge for its meals
But with rapidly rising numbers it appears they're pretty good at it
Zeba / Fringilla coelebs / Chaffinch

As I drove north along Montana’s Highway 200 in late summer, a small island nestled on the waters of the Cabinet Gorge Reservoir caught my eye. This little gem shone brightly amid the forested slopes and distant mountain peaks. Overhead, a flock of geese swept past in near-perfect formation, their graceful flight adding life to an already magical scene.
The Cabinet Gorge Reservoir winds through the rugged Clark Fork Valley of western Montana. It is a narrow, forest-lined channel that eventually merges with Idaho’s magnificent Lake Pend Oreille to the northwest. To me, this wilderness felt timeless—a landscape framed by the steep, brooding walls of the Cabinet Mountains and an ancient gorge shaped by glaciers long ago.

A couple days ago, I posted a photo of a female snowy owl preening. She stayed on the post for over well over an hour relaxing, scanning for prey, preening, and having a quick nap (and revealing its white, feathery eyelids). Then the owl flew away. This is the best frame from the short sequence before it disappeared out of my view. I was photographing from inside my vehicle, so fairly limited in tracking it as it flew down low to the ground, out over a field, and eventually perching on a willow that was well out of camera range.
I took a few images while the snowy was on the post, but the real enjoyment was in watching and learning, and enjoying her beauty.
Though it looks like this osprey is coming in for a landing, it's a young bird just figuring out how to use his/her wings. There was no need to travel far into the back woods to find this nest as it is on top of a light pole in the middle of a Trader Joe's parking lot! It's sibling had already figure out the secrets of flight and made its way to a nearby light pole.

Eurasian griffons co-operate in searching for food by individually circling a particular area, still in sight of their neighbour, until food is found, at which point a large number of birds may swoop down to feed on the carcass. This can lead to impressive threat displays and fights as each individual jostles to maintain its position at the feeding site.
One from my archives of a Great Grey Owl ...note the nictating ( second eyelid) , an instinctive reaction when there is a possibility of eye injury as when landing on a perch...
Such majestic birds, we were very fortunate to encounter this African Harrier-Hawk close to the road within the Kruger National Park on safari with Wild Wings Safaris. Awesome.
well, i have such poor equipment to photograph birds, that i was quite happy with these photos. Autofocus is sooo slow in my camera i have to do all manual focus, so i was concentrating like hell to be able to even catch these moments the way i could.
i will invest in something more serious, but didn't decided yet what i will go with.. but i can't wait to have the before...after photos :)
Ceyx rufidorsa is a bird species in the Alcedinidae family. It is commonly known as the rufous-backed kingfisher. This species is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand in tropical lowland forests near lakeshores and streamsides.
In celebration of the little bit of rain we've had this week, this is a shot from the last evening rain. Parking lot outside Buffalo Wild Wings. The blue is actually Aspen Dental, so you can go get the wings cleaned out of your teeth.
Apparently Buzzards have never been popular with falconers, as they tend to be far too lazy to be taught to fly at live prey!
Sounds like a bird who's got life well 'sorted'
No wonder I like them so much
Racing across the wild lake
Wings they fly, wings they make
Their way to a place, well known
Where every year they are blown
Over land, past the trees
Wings they spread, ride on the breeze
Across the skies of blue and grey
Flying, flying , far away
This Bald Eagle looks like he means business and by the bloodstains on his head feathers, I think he is serious about it.
A beautiful Barn Owl captured in the early evening sun going about its routine of quartering the fields in search of food. Always a pleasure to watch and photograph.

Seemingly Chiselled from stone the Marsh Harrier (when it comes to looks at least) is a 'brute' of a bird
A winged nightmare whether you be avian or small mammal., this super predator can twist and dive in a blink of an eye., those razor sharp claws ready to tear you apart with lethal efficiency
Photographically it's a game of patience., waiting., and then hoping your quick enough to capture the deadly moment
A beautiful blue sky is reflected in this pond filled with water lilies. The pond is in front of the Wild Wings Cafe in Knoxville, TN.
