February 9, 2012
First day of the Sherwood Forest Faire. The day was a bit cool and damp, but not bad for a February day. My first show was the Sky Kings Birds of Prey. Catching a bird in flight is one of those things you are either good at or lucky at, right now I think I am just lucky to get a shot as the one above. I used the Nikon D600 with the 70-200 f2.8 lens.
2/8/13 -  Great Horned Owl, talking to us; they are very chatty birds.  Another of the shots from the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum raptor free fly program.

Thanks for all your comments on the shot of the little bat.  Someone thought it was not a live bat, but I assure that it most definitely was alive.  It was in a little cave-like dark cage in a house that housed desert insects and animals that live either underground or in darker environments.
