  23. Excellent shots. they are magnificent birds.

  24. WOW! Impressive, in your face shots!
    I took a photo of a hawk in a tree on my campus last friday. Not so up-close, but I got it! I have some other raptor shots too. But can't find them. I'll make a note to myself to do some bird photos. But right now, I'm all into trees and plants. I don't move - too much.

  25. I wish I could get some quality photos of the hawks that come in and winter here. They are huge guys. I love the owls.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wow. Amazing photos. Thanks for stopping by Maylee Beezir by the way!

  27. Awesome photos as always Lisa. I had the rare experience of spying a red tail hawk in flight last weekend while I had my camera. Unfortunately I didn't have the telephoto attached at the time and he disappeared after making the one pass. I just did catch one shot, but there just wasn't enough to make a post of. And certainly nothing like these!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ditto! Awesome shots. Thanks

  29. Marvelous photos!!! As for the posts I skimmed through to catch up here ... perhaps I should organize some ‘give aways’ myself since I’m working on getting rid of ‘stuph’ … In any case I’m skipping over the ‘give aways’ here because I’m sure someone else would appreciate these things more than me at the moment. Until I get rid of what I have and don’t need, I’m bringing NOTHING that isn’t consumable into this house … seriously!
    Hugs and blessings,

  30. Wow, great shots! Were you at a zoo or some kind of bird sanctuary? Bald eagles always look so majestic, but I can't decide if the third bird (some kind of owl?) is cute or spooky looking!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hello! I've been neglectful, but wow! You are still taking great shots. Love the eagle shots. Geez... take my breath away.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I went bird watching with a group on Sunday. We saw red tailed hawk (many), a rough legged hawk, a golden eagle, a great horned owl, northern harrier, kestral... and a few others.
    Just love a good day seeing raptors.

  34. wow fab images, we have had a pair of barn owls living in our barn for 5 years, rare to stay all year and have the one next..they must be happy....no we've moved we wonder if they are ok..

  35. birds of prey are my absolute favorites..you have captured them well.

    ReplyDelete
  36. these are great photos! you have captured their elegance and "arrogance"... but the owl looks sweet from another angle (third shot)... i love its furry "beak bridge" (as oppose to nose bridge for humans) :))
