I enjoy photography first, birding is a side effect of my hobby. Most of my photographs are from the urban landscape of the Midwest United States, which goes to show if you give nature just a little breathing room, amazing things can happen.

On the coldest day of the year, tempters were short.

For every good shot I post, I have many, just like this, that no amount of editing can save.

Ok, why this is the shot of the day, isn't because of the kestrel, it's because of the quarry, a flying squirrel, seen dangling. #birds #birding #birdphotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #nikon #raptors #birdsofprey #kestrel #americankestrel #urbanwildlife #bluesky

While I always seek these guys out, surprisingly he wasn't the show stopper today for a specific reason. More on that in another post.

This raptor is banded, and frequently see it around my area.

With the snow coming in this morning all the deer were moving with purpose.

Still editing some of my photos from yesterday. I'm loving those talons.

I had a quandary with this photo, as there is another red tail hawk in the original shot, that I decided to crop out.

When I'm on the phone with my wife at lunch and I tell her "I gotta go", she knows this is why.
