That time I stepped out onto my back deck with a joint and camera and there sat a female Cooper's Hawk in my Emory Oak, backlit by early dappled light and hunting the cottontails...from 5 feet BELOW my deck. She ignored me completely. Magical.

🪶 A Buzzard flying over a local lake looking for a meal yesterday, caused chaos with the ducks, gulls and crows.

For #RaptorDay. First photo is my first view of an Eagle's Nest about four miles from my house. Second photo is my last shot at the nest as one of the Eaglets fledged. Took 56 trips and 4 months but I was there! 🪶

WAIT IT'S #raptorday?? My very own calling 🪶🐡

Far too hard to choose only four images. Please see alt text for details!
Crested Caracara portrait - a loose, quick sketch of a bird looking relaxed and facing left in warm lighting American Kestrel pair. The male is transferring a captured dragonfly to a female. Done for the Month of Love 2019 prompt Truth, where I discussed dietary carotenoids affecting bare parts coloration in birds as an example of honest signaling of quality. Quick portrait of Annie, a Peregrine Falcon made famous by her yearly nesting at UC Berkeley's Campanile building Great Gray Owl portrait for The Institute for Bird Populations' 2022 winter thank you card.
