Swainson’s Hawk mama telling me to f*ck off cause I parked too close to her grown ass kids. The kids had fledged but she was still the authority figure. Klamath Basin. And yes, I heeded the message and f*cked right off.

Morning drama in the neighborhood! A young Cooper’s Hawk decides to test a Gray Squirrel and a stalemate ensues. 🪶
A Cooper’s hawk descends on a squirrel who is reared up on their hind legs, moth agape, reaching toward the hawk in an aggressive defensive posture. This is happening in someone’s lawn.

A richly colored red-tailed Hawk rises into the sky on outstretched wings in front of distant, wind-gnarled cypress trees barely visible through the dense fog.

One life fuels another. Predation is a special thing to witness. This is one way energy flows through the natural world. #birds
A Cooper’s hawk prepares to eat a house sparrow by lifting the sparrow up by her right leg. The scene takes place on thick branch in a Honey locust tree. The composition suggests a circle as the hawk looks down toward the sparrow while the sparrow’s head is upturned facing the hawk.

Figuring out how to use video as a photographic technique. It’s only 30 fps at 8K and while I can do 120 at 4K it’s just that the resolution isn’t enough to pull stills. This is a still from 8K footage and looks great. I processed the frame in Lightroom.
