MemberThought you’d appreciate that the horrible disease continues – more raptors today – but I mixed them up with some fallow deer (I was stupid lucky spotting them).
Anyway – missed only a couple flying opportunities (we were mostly in the woods) – but still managed a shot or two.
A smallish gallery of some of the best here:

Thought you’d enjoy the fact that you’d inspired another out there.

It is adicting isn’t it 🙂 I know for me it gets me into the outdoors when Id otherwise be suffering from cabin fever waiting for Trout Openers and really, it is just a slightly different way of hunting. Plenty are the days I dont get good pictures but get a great sense of accomplishment in locating, seeing and capturing images of various species.I have plans to go out with my favorite fly fishing guide in the coming weeks to “hunt” some game (fox, Coyotes, Turkey and Eagles) with our cameras.

I couldn’t agree more with you about your hunting comment.
Actually, I believe my hunting experiences will be that which will contribute most to my success in nature photography. By applying the knowledge you have of rhythms of nature to your set up for photographs, you give yourself many more chances to make unique images.
And well said about not always “bagging your game” when you’re out – but that’s part of the pleasure of it, eh? It’s particularly satisfying to finally capture “the shot” when you’ve missed a number of them, due to image focus, exposure, simply not being fast enough to get the lens around.
I’m going to look hard at buying a mount such as the one you use sometime soon. It looks like the cat’s as….er…..patootee for shooting in the field.
Oh – and a bit of good news this morning; landed my first stock agency today. (and NO – NOT microstock!)
Woot – a fine day in my house – off to begin uploads.

Glad you thought so Mike.
I’m really trying hard to ensure my photography has a voice of its own, and that I’m not saying something that’s been said a million times before. Be it subject position, background, or a combination of other factors, I’m hoping to freeze moments in time that folks don’t normally see.
I saw a quote worth repeating, and it was “photography is viciously subjective.”
How very true, no?
Anyway, I’m pleased you saw something unique in my photos as it means I’ve succeeded in what I was attempting.
