    American Kestrel, female

    This little one was hunting insects around a field where a man was mowing the grass. It was chased away by a group of grackles and went to perch on a dead pine tree. I slowly aproached it taking photos at several distances until only 30 feet or so separated me from this little beauty. I was...

    Got this beauty today, I could heve gotten a much better phot of it, he was sitting on a fence post but silly me did not see it on time and he got scared and flew away. This was at the low grasslands of Cocle Province, lots of raptors there. This is a beautiful powerful bird.

    Barn owl with prey

    This was the male of a pair of Barn Owls expected to fledge three young at any time. The male is by far the most active hunter often having returned to the nest site 6 or 7 times before the female appears. The birds usually appear late in the evening so you had to be lucky to be there on an...

    One that didn't get away

    I've wanted to get this type of "gotcha" shot for a long time, I was fortunate enough to finally get one just before the end of the year. There were three Osprey hunting over the river and this one was kind enough to fly close to us to show off his catch of the day!
