Resting in the grass, this Columbia White Tailed Deer stag kept a watchful eye on his favorite doe while she was grazing for hours on end.. #romance

The Red Winged Blackbird is always a ham for the camera... who can blame him for showing off his stunning colors!

A pair of recently released Ring Necked Pheasants who were avoiding the hunters in the fields by hanging out by the busy road! Like the chicken, these colorful birds originated in Asia.

Short Eared Owls can be difficult #birds to #photograph as they fly erratically and often only in the dim light of dusk.

It helps to get #lucky

The Sandhill Cranes have arrived for the winter and are showing off their dancing ability... although, I don't know if the other crane is impressed.

With her striking Coiffure, this female Hooded Merganser cruises the blue waters of Ridgefield NWR in search of an equally stunning mate.

A perfect #fall day in the #pnw with fir trees and fall colors... and a uniquely shaped Short Eared Owl flying past.

This handsome (and #endangered ) Columbia White Tailed Deer Buck spent the ENTIRE afternoon following around a female doe at #Ridgefield NWR as we made several trips around the autoroute.

The Short Eared Owl locks eyes as it hunts the tall grasses and reeds for a furry lunch. Good thing I shaved that day.

The downside to my Sigma 150-600mm with my Sony A6500 is that Eye Autofocus does not work so I have to revert to my manual focus skills I learned on my 1970's era Nikon F camera. This Red Shouldered Hawk waited patiently for me to focus.

This is one mean little Hawk!

Even though it was almost half the size, this Red Shouldered Hawk chased off the Red Tailed!

Got lucky again with the Red Shouldered Hawk at #Ridgefield NWR today. In addition to hunting in the trees, it interacted (harrassed) a larger Red Tailed for about 10 minutes!
