Oh, how grand! So majestic - thank you, Cleve and I hope 2009 is the very best year for you. We look forward to your wonderful photography - you're the best!...
My luck with raptors hasn't been so good lately, so this morning, anxious to see what the new year might bring, I went to the pine snag in which so many fine...
Well, WE know you're not a meal, Cleve! Nice shots! Today a good friend and I went down to Coyote Valley in South San Jose, a great undeveloped area of open...
A good deed, Evet. On behalf of the turkey vultures and other scavengers, I thank you. But where are the photos -- not of the roadkill but all of those raptors...
Well, at this moment I'm sitting here going through them and punching out the ones I don't even think should be downloaded, and then I'll REALLY see if I got...
Per Cleve's request, a few photos from New Year's Day in Coyote Valley are posted at <http://tinyurl.com/coyotevalley> http://tinyurl.com/coyotevalley ....
Happy New Year, Cleve and Judy and all. I'm a fan of the turkey vulture. I love to watch them fly especially when they soar close by near bluffs. Great to see...
Happy New Year to you too, Maggie, and to everyone else. I have a good feeling about this upcoming year. I also like the turkey vultures, but wonder why they...
Yeah, that last shot looks like he thinks you look good enough to eat. Gotta' keep moving, Cleve!!! They're gorgeous in the air but . . . ... in ... [Non-text...
Cool photos, Evet! Thanks. Ferruginous hawks are among the raptors I have had no luck with this winter. Of the few I've seen around here, all have been far...

Really nice find, Evet! I think this is one of the handsomest birds we can find...the Ferruginous not the TV's! I loved your story about moving the carcass...
Thanks, Dianna. The ferruginous hawk was indeed a special sight, as I had only seen these raptors at a great distance, where other more experienced observers...
I too really appreciate turkey vultures, Evet. Most have migrated south...but a few can usually be found up here during the winter months; we always look for...
Well, I'd have a story to tell her. On December 23d, 2006, I was visiting family in Athens, Georgia. My sister-in-law told me of a large column of birds...
This morning, I decided to get serious about those hawks of the ferruginous persuasion. I went early to stake out a tree in which I had seen one perched...
Great shots, Cleve! The refuginous hawk (;>) is a most colorful hawk, at least of what I've seen so far, and these photos demonstrate that with great depth. ...
Funny how those birds can morph into something different, isn't it? I seldom get to see a harrier perched...and the warm glow of the setting sun is an...
Thanks to those who had kind words for my poor photos. Not sure what you're LOLing about there, HHH. But hey, a good guffaw is hard to come by these days, so...
Hey, Cleve: No one is laughing - your photography is awesome and NEVER "poor." Please continue for our enjoyment! ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
I was staked out and waiting for the kestrel to make a landing on the pine snag when I saw the kite coming in. I never thought she would land there when I was...
