    • Burrowing Owl - guarding nest near Boise, ID
    • This image is of a Red-tailed Hawk perched on top of a telephone poll and watching a group of small birds flying in the area. I love the one feather that is sticking out on the top of his head. The Red-tailed Hawk is a bird of open country. Look for it along fields and perched on telephones poles, fenceposts, or trees standing alone or along edges of fields as it searches for the movements of a rodent or a rabbit.

    • An adult Cooper's Hawk perched in a Pistachio Tree in my backyard. The Cooper’s Hawk and its closely related accipiter cousin, the Sharp-Shinned Hawk, can be one of the most difficult birds of prey to identify. Swift and agile, and among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, this raptor is a cunning predator that can be found not only in forested areas, but also in backyards, looking for an easy meal at bird feeders.
    • This image is of a juvenile Cooper's Hawk, that had recently left its nest, with two of its siblings. I was able to get very close to the bird while it was learning to fly.
    • As I was shooting with a longer lens, others kept getting closer with smart phones, he became nervous and began to vocalize, which in hawk language means "momma". It was then time for all to leave him alone.
    • He seems to know, fences make good neighbors.
    • Most of the down is gone, check out these flight feathers.
    • This one could not wait to try flying and had a short glide to the ground. He was not injured and I was told he later got back up to the nest.
    • There's a rascal in every bunch, he tugs playfully on his siblings tail feather, or maybe it's a she tugging.
    • Growing good and getting color
    • The dinner bell rings again.
