Locked in - Short Eared Owl swooping low over the marsh at sunrise. Love the intensity in those eyes. Golden light hitting the feathers against the ocean blue is just right. Worth the early alarm and frozen fingers.

First light of 2026 - New Years Day on the coast.
An approaching storm and low light made a short window of blue/gray light before the snow squalls hit - love the contrast with those intense yellow eyes.
Great "Bad Natured" start to 2026!

Some mornings you just get lucky - right place, right time to capture this beautiful Short Eared Owl taking a very quick break while hunting up and down the marsh.

Plum Island Deer: Caught in the act of pretending I can’t see them.
This young doe froze absolutely still at sunrise, banking on her natural defense mechanism to make the human (me) disappear.
The suspense was incredible. The light was better.

Haven't posted in a while, but in reviewing this year's pics, this is definitely one of my favorites! Nice little Piping Plover taking a break from feeding along the shoreline to warm up in the early morning golden light!

Spring has sprung here in Massachusetts and starting to get some birds migrating through. Caught this Golden-Crowned Kinglet as it paused for a split second before continuing to flit around in the brush.

It's officially the start of Piping Plover season in New England. The nesting areas for these mini puffballs are very highly protected around here - with many miles of coastal beaches shut down to public access from April through September.

Consider myself lucky to get "one more" encounter with this amazing snowy owl this afternoon, as you never know when they are going to leave for their long journey back home in the artic.

Got lucky this morning with a nice shot of a snowy owl lit up in the morning sun as it banked over the dunes!
It was a cold morning (~12*F) but worth the frozen fingers.
These owls never cease to amaze!

Managed to get a great shot of this short eared owl as it paused for 30 seconds before frantically flying off again to resume its hunt. Photographing these owls is always a challenge - and I love it!

Created this a few years ago in response to several snowy owls being killed by seconary poisoning - where owls and other raptors were feeding on rodents that had been poisoned by home and business owners. It's still happening and needs to stop!

One of my favorite, and most frustrating, subjects is the Short Eared Owl. Where I live they don't frequently come out and hunt during daylight hours, and most of the time they are flying into the sun. Once in a while you get lucky :)

Several years ago, four young coyotes at a local wildlife refuge demonstrated remarkable tolerance towards humans, allowing photographers to observe them while they hunted in the marsh and fields. It was an extraordinary opportunity to witness these animals!

Northern Harriers are a favorite subject. Despite being backlit, the light reflecting off the snow also illuminated its chest. I love the light shining through the wings and glistening off the ice in the background.
