I love the challenge of photographing birds in the wild. I look for patterns, activity, natural settings etc. to bring the birds alive in the photograph. Here are a few of my favorites.
Even while I was laying down on the ground, this suspicious Burrowing Owl kept its peepers on me the whole time. I loved the yellow eyes.
Photographed at the Salton Sea in California, these Cormorants provided, for me, a humorous pose that I titled "One of these things is not like the others!" I also photographed them in color but found the B&W much more appealing.

A Kestrel at sundown struck a pose for this photo. Having gone to the San Jacinto Wildlife Area a number of times, I and others have learned how to identify specific birds...we named this one Sue.
Rounding a corner, we surprised a Merlin that was feeding on another bird.

"Seeing Double". I was pleasantly surprised when after flying in, these waders lined up perfectly for the shot
With a low sun, the light hit the feathers of this White-faced Ibis so that they were near-iridescent. I like the colors when the light is right
Really nice set of photos! White Faced Ibis is almost identical to the Glossy Ibis of the eastern US!
Thanks. It was fun taking photos of them.
Marvelous series and great, colorful variety!!
Thanks for taking the time to post these...very enjoyable! Tom McC, McQueeney, Texas
The waders look like a synchronized team! Love the kestrel.
