On a cold and blustery January day, we decided to drive northeast to Killdeer Plains Wild Life Area in search of Owls. Photographic conditions were horrid….
We were successful in locating the Short Eared Owls, and despite sleet and drizzle, were able to capture a few images.
It was such a joy seeing these birds and watching them soar and course that the images were just an extra….the real treat was in having the opportunity to see them!
In addition, we were treated to the sight of several Northern Harriers.
Our blog is a journal of our nature photography adventures. All of our images are free to download and use for educational use, presentations and personal printing usage. Please make sure to leave our credits intact!

Redheads
The weather today wasn’t conducive to a photo shoot, so I had to be content to look back at what I was shooting in years’ past. One of my favorites was this pair of Red-Headed Ducks. They stopped over for a short visit at Old Reid in the winter of 2008.
It was a wonderful experience to be close to these beauties….even if some of them didn’t care to interact!
