The fledgling owls are a constant source of inspiration. They are almost ready to start hunting school.

We found these Long-ear owl fledglings in a park just a few blocks from our home. So beautiful and so curious, it was amazing to watch them try to figure out what we were doing.

The Northern Harrier, IMHO one of the most beautiful birds of prey on the planet.

We've been very busy of late cataloguing the thousands of photos in our files. I'm working on all the raptors, so I'll be posting some of my favorites from the 13K+ from which I can choose.
