Great Horned Owls

Lynda Pauley, of Prairie’s Edge, contacted us to let us know that she had seen a Great Horned Owl in the previous year’s Red Tailed Hawk nest. We took some time on Friday afternoon to head out to Lynda’s to take a look, and were able to get good looks at the nest and the owl. We were careful to stay far enough away not to disturb her. We’ll plan on checking the nest again in the next couple of weeks….hopefully with better lighting so we can get some good images to show the progress.

Breaking Ice

Song Sparrow

Even though it’s still winter, it began to feel a bit more like spring is on the way after I was greeted by this Song Sparrow at Buck Creek. Can’t be long now!

Gulls

David has a new camera body….a Canon 7D. The lovely sun this afternoon was conducive to some practice flight shots of the numerous Ringed Billed Gulls at Old Reid.

And another eagle shot….

 

Canyon Views

I was looking back at some images from a trip to the Grand Canyon a few years ago and this image caught my eye. I’ve never been a landscape photographer, but this was one of my favorites.

And another favorite…..
