Bad Natured Photography

Once a year I make a short trip to a nearby park to look for Bobolinks.. such a different bird in both appearance and behavior!

Spring has sprung here in Massachusetts and starting to get some birds migrating through. Caught this Golden-Crowned Kinglet as it paused for a split second before continuing to flit around in the brush.

Kestrel hovering in mid air looking for grasshoppers.

Grasshoppers Beware!

#Kestrel coming up empty after sneak grasshopper lunch attack! I love watching these tiny #falcons hover in place, spot their prey and zoom down to attack.

Piping Plover standing on the beach.

It's officially the start of Piping Plover season in New England. The nesting areas for these mini puffballs are very highly protected around here - with many miles of coastal beaches shut down to public access from April through September.

Snowy owl leaps into flight from a piling.

Consider myself lucky to get "one more" encounter with this amazing snowy owl this afternoon, as you never know when they are going to leave for their long journey back home in the artic.

Its tough to get out of bed on some rainy mornings, but you will never know what you will find if you don't go exploring!

Thanks Kim!

I agree completely and for the record this photograph was taken from my car :)

Barred Owl perches on a small dead branch.

One of my favorite subjects from this winter, you never know where they are going to show up, but when you get lucky, it's magic!

Amazing shot, great light

Great light in the eyes!

Great collection!

Snowy owl banks in flight in early morning light.

Got lucky this morning with a nice shot of a snowy owl lit up in the morning sun as it banked over the dunes!

It was a cold morning (~12*F) but worth the frozen fingers.

These owls never cease to amaze!

Short eared owl perched in golden light.

Managed to get a great shot of this short eared owl as it paused for 30 seconds before frantically flying off again to resume its hunt. Photographing these owls is always a challenge - and I love it!

Thank you Gerrit - don't get me wrong, it was an amazing day nonetheless!

Thank you Amy! They are very cropped images that look on on phone screens, but wouldn't make a good print for the wall :)

Ever have those days where you see lots of interesting subjects, but don't get any good "keeper" shots? Yesterday was one of those days....
