Turkey Vulture

I know what this guy is thinking. Who are these people and what are they doing on my turf? I don't smell one iota of decay among the bunch. I'm out of here!

Turkey Vulture

Ugly is as ugly does. But sometimes ugly is beautiful. This is one of Mother Nature's Garbage Men/Women. He/She cleans up after everyone else. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. I’ve been dying to get a good head shot of a Turkey Vulture to show the contrast between his beautifully...

Gang Violence

I was fortunate enough to be in the front of my housing development to witness open hostilities between rival factions. The two groups were sizing each other up, then, in the blink of an eye, the violence escalated into an all out war over local turf. I was also lucky enough to have my trusty camera...

Geat Blue Heron

Although not a great photograph, just look at the enormity of the expanse on the wings of the Great Blue Heron as he flies over the tree tops. (After I disturbed the poor guys lunch)

Great Blue Heron

Today I took a whole bunch of really crummy pictures of really fabulous subjects. Lately, before I take my camera out to shoot, I go through the manual to make sure I have the settings that I will need to photograph the subjects for that day. Obviously, I got that wrong today because my pictures came...

Red Tailed Hawk

This photo is my pride and joy. I have desperately wanted to photograph a hawk in his natural environment for about as long as I have been watching birds. Throughout most of the summer I longed to get a photo every time I saw one. He is a large, broad-winged, round tailed hawk that veers as he soars...

Great Blue Heron

I never expected to see this bird again until Spring. I thought how lucky I was to get such a great find right at the pond in January in the middle of Winter. When I uploaded the pictures, it made me very sad. I wish you could see this beautiful bird in all it's splendor. He's a Great Blue Heron...

Downy Woodpecker

This is also a Downy Woodpecker. The Downy Woodpecker looks almost identical to the Hairy Woodpecker except he is smaller and has a shorter bill. I noticed him coming around about two months ago but I he was too quick for me to get a couple of snaps off. But, I had my day(s) over the last week. It seems...

Downy Woodpecker

This is a female Downy Woodpecker. I know she's a girl because she is not decorated with the scarlet mark on the nape of her neck. Isn't she beautiful?

White Breasted Nuthatch

OK. Here's the story. When I took his picture, I thought he was just one of the usual suspects. Just another Red Breasted Nuthatch. Then, after I uploaded his picture I just kept thinking "what's wrong with this picture". He just didn't look right. I thought maybe I would have to...
