Cattle Egret

Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii

As I was going on a walk with my cousin, Raewyn, we saw a Cattle Egret and I wanted a photo of it. I started shooting just as it flew way, I was glad I got this photo.

Alligators

Christmas, Florida

Chelsea came with my friend Pam and I and we went on an airboat.  It was fun and exciting to see so many alligators.  There was the worry that the airboat would break down, HA! HA!  I love the name of this place!

Barn Owl

Hook, England

Simon was our falconer and he showed us a number of his birds.  It was amazing!  I loved this Barn Owl who was so aware of everything around us, but very gentle.  We were able to touch it’s very, very soft feathers.  I love the white feathers with the contrast of it’s very dark eyes.

Camera used:  Canon 50D

Red-Tailed Hawk

Hook, England

We spent a wonderful day with a Falconer, looking at his birds and watching what they do.  Did you know that birds do not poop in their nests?  They find a tree and that becomes their poop tree and you know this because it is covered in white.  I thought that was amazing.  Each bird is unique and awesome to watch.  Here the Red-tailed Hawk is flying, I love taking photos of birds as they fly!

Bengor Eagle Owl

Hook, England

We spent sometime with a falconer, Simon and it was so enjoyable!  This owl was beautiful.  Abby, was raised by a 6 year old girl and she loves to cuddle. When she was on anyone’s arm (they had a thick glove on) she would move up close to their body.  It was fun to watch their interaction as she would look into their eyes.  Doesn’t she have beautiful eyes?!?!

Kestrel

Hook, England

We went out into the English country and had a lovely time.  We were actually between Hook and Dogmersfield, in Hampshire.  We had a falconer, Simon who showed us his birds and what they do.  This Kestrel was so pretty!

Horse and Duck

Hook, England

We went out into the countryside and saw lots of animals; cows, horses, ducks, and even some that we don’t know what they were. This duck and horse were drinking together when the duck decided to waddle away. So, I watched and at the right moment when he was between the horses legs, I snapped this photo.

Blue Cardinal

Salt Lake City, Utah

Usually birds fly south for the winter, but after a recent snowfall I went outside to take some photographs of the snow and there were birds everywhere, flying, singing, chirping. They were all blue cardinals and they were very pretty. I hope they get where they need to be so they survive the winter!

The Nene is the State Bird of Hawaii and it is a type of goose.  They are hard to find, but there is an area in Lihue where you see a lot of them.  This one possed for me.

Generally, when you get close to the ocean you see Seagulls.  (Except in Hawaii, no Seagulls there.)  I enjoy watching them, they are pretty birds, energetic and fun.

As I watched this Pelican, it dived for some fish.  I was amazed that it could see the fish from so far up!

Seagull

Long Beach, California

I thought I would walk to the beach.  Well, it was a lot further away than I thought, an hour and a half later I was there.  HA! HA!  I didn’t really notice the time because I was talking on the phone to three of my girl’s.  Once at the beach, I enjoyed every moment I was there and then had Craig pick me up to take me back to our hotel!

Peeking Thru

As we watched this Jaguar, he went into a pool of water and was blocked by the trees and plants.  I walked around until I could see him thru them and took this shot!
