Neither weather nor birds have been very cooperative lately. But I have posted a couple of sequences of young red-tails landing and posing as well as one doing...
By whatever name, interesting birds with unusual hunting moves that are difficult to capture. I have posted some photos from yesterday morning of one doing the...
Nice shots, Cleve! They are quite common here also, hunting over the dune grass. I love to see the same one's day after day, hunting in their own territory. ...
First kite in the early light of Sunday morning. Then, did you ever wonder what a hovering kite looks like from below and behind? Probably not, and probably...
I've heard reports of a falcon in my neighborhood area for over a week. Joe Drennan a wildlife ecologist that works and lives in my neighborhood says he saw...
Possible, I need to study the legs in the photos I took to check for bands. I'm guessing not though. This is around the time that Cappy appeared last year....
Nice sequence, Glenn. It looks as though she failed at catching a meal; note the feathers on talon and bill but such a flat crop....or maybe it was just a...
She was eating a small bird when I photographed her. The last photos show her leaving with it in her bill. ... meal; note the feathers on talon and bill but...
The light has been mostly bad the last couple of days, occasionally changing to worse. The variations have had some interesting effects on the same old kites. ...

Thanks for all your kind words, Dianna. I'm excited about your new camera setup and looking forward to your pictures. Just for you, because I know the coast of...
The falcon that spent a great deal of time last spring on the steeple of the church at Capp St and 23rd St. is back again. For those needing a sighting for...
Nice shots, Cleve. I know most photographers go for the crisp and clear style of the bird against a clear blue sky...and I do appreciate that perfection. But...
And a beautiful morning it was with just a hint of fall crispness. A juvenile red-tail on a mission flew past fairly close. A kite demonstrated how it stows...
Seems as if all of my photos lately have been either very similar to many you've seen before or else of poor quality. Most of what I have posted fall into the...
Cleve, I love these latest photos. I too love the aerobatics of the Northern Harrier and your photos capture moves I don't see. The Ferruginous Hawks I see up...
Thanks for the tip, Maggie. I do want to get out to the Carrizo Plain soon. In addition to the ferruginous hawks, I'd like to find some burrowing owls. ... ...

One of my favorite birds is the American Kestrel, both for its beauty and personality. I have found it very difficult to photograph in flight though. Not only...
Wellllllll....it looks like a leucistic Red-shouldered Hawk, or maybe a Ferruginous Hawk...again leucistic...or a crossbred hawk. That coloration just doesn't...
WOW!!! I can't believe you got those shots, Cleve! Patience, patience, patience...huh? Nice going....and in focus too! I am thinking a whole wall of raptor...
... Hi Judy and all, I'm told by a reliable source it's an "auger buzzard". Who knew? Apparently it's been used in at least one other comercial. Janet...
