  1. Great Egret

    Great Egret

    Taken at the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve in Hillsboro, Oregon, USA at about 40m. A little too overcast to do these large, white birds justice, but enjoyed photographing them nonetheless.

  2. Barn Owl

    Barn Owl

    Taken at the Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline at about 40m. Early morning, couple hours after sunrise on a gloomy overcast day we were caught by surprise by this poor owl being chased by 34 American Crows. The owl would swoop and dodge and then land in the tall reeds and wait and just when he...

    Taken at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge at about 10m. Contrasty photo as an accident of camera settings while experimenting, but was interesting nonetheless.

    Great Egrets...Fighting?

    Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 65m. Watched and tried to photograph these two egrets, one chasing the other, looked like a fight. The rearmost one had all it's display feathers ruffled and everything. The lead egret seemed to lose the battle and kept flying up...

    Sanderling

    A sanderling very far from home, since it is a circumpolar Arctic breeder, but migrates south to South America, South Europe, Africa, and Australia during Northern Winter.

  10. Barn Owl on nest box

    Barn Owl on nest box

    A few years ago they started a project in Israel to reduce the use of rodenticides in agriculture. They placed a lot of nestboxes, initially just for barn owls, but later also for kestrels. This has been so succesful that the practice was also adopted by Jordanian and Palestinian farmers.

    Side-On view of Barn Owl

    Second of the two best shots I managed to get during a blissful afternoon's owl watching at Heron's Pool, Chew Lake, near Bristol, England. There is an owl box in a large tree that has had one pair of owls breeding successfully for at least the last two years. Unfortunately, it did not manage to...
