Everybody admires a stealthy hunter. How about the feathered variety? Texgun & 1minute twigged a thought. Hawks, owls, eagles, etc- what's in your album? RC

Ironbender: Was it you that had a nesting pair of baldys nearby last spring? If so, did they fledge anything?
We have good numbers that pause each spring but no nesting baldys here in eastern Oregon.

I have been told by a FS wildlife bio we do have a very few nesting pairs over here. I have forgotten where he told me though. Perhaps on the Umatilla or Wallowa-Whitman. Do not believe it was on the Malheur.

BW, I like the side lighting on #1 and the result on the eye.

This girl actually found me. I got up before the rest of the family and hit a small trail around Christopher Creek, AZ a few weeks ago. I suddenly heard a big "swoop" at my head. I found out (after the fact) I was a little close to her nest and she didn't care for that. She took dives at me for the next 15 minutes, but I wasn't about to leave until I was convinced I got a couple good shots. Does anybody know what kind of bird that is? At first I thought maybe Sharp-Shinned hawk, but now I'm thinking female Coopers Hawk.

Ray and Utah: Nice shots. A Virginia friend once sent me a self portrait with a ruffed grouse sitting first on the barrel of his 30-30 and then eventually on his shoulder as he was watching a white tail trail.
Did you call that owl in, or did he just happen by?
The wife has been out chasing hummingbirds for the last couple of days. She's nailed a couple more, but they are still in the camera.

Outstanding... I bet the pucker factor was about 9.732!
What's the worst thing that can happen? O.K., what's the next worst thing?
