Serious compliment coming from you Travis!! I'd be lying if I didn't say I was using your shots this year as a benchmark for my own progression. I got a late start this year since the eagles didn't come back to where I saw them last year and I had to go further to find mine. Good in flight shots eluded me, I always seemed to be too far away or as silly as it sounds too close. What I could have done with a Sigma 300-800mm f5.6 (sigh). Thanks again!!

Excellent, I saw one here for the first time this year a few weeks ago. I hope I can book some shoots with a couple of these families.

This is one of my favorite little birds. Lucky that it stayed there long enough for the shot, they usually take off quick!

I thought I would share these here as well as the over 300 club
These two are the same bird, it just flew to a different branch for the second one.
These two Harrier Hawks were a real treat but man do they have and erratic flight pattern looking for food over a field. It was hard to track handheld. A good picture of a Harrier has eluded me for a long time so I was happy to get these.
And then two more that are a little more normal. These finches(I think) were in one of the trees I ended up next to so I shot them real quick but it was so cold out that I couldn't justify staying since they weren't meat eaters.

Thanks for the message! When I started the thread I was young enough(measured by post counts) to not really have put that much thought into which camera brands were allowed as evidenced by the fact that I was still using my album space here to host my photos and those links no longer work. So I would say, not that I carry any authority, let it ride! A picture is a picture and these ones are supposed to be about wild animals so as long as that criteria is met I'm not going to get upset:)
On the other hand I was thinking of starting a thread for: "Nocturnal Mammals in the western hemisphere of each continent shot at a focal length of 200mm-400mm below f7.1 with camera bodies that have in-body shake reduction and the crop factor can only be figured in after 1700 hrs" Please come join me in that thread!

Wow! Still waiting(hoping) that the eagles come back to my area for the winter. . . . .

I've only seen a few owls in the wild and they always see me first so they don't stick around. I have one picture with two huge yellow eyes behind a big bush that one flew to for cover. Congratulations on getting a great shot!
@borno those are some great photos!!

I saw a little family a month ago, I was not ready and when I started shuffling things around, they started to trot off. I have shots that prove what I saw but nothing worth posting:(

I stumbled upon a watering hole that moose seem to frequent.

Looks like there is some late afternoon sun there with perhaps a strong yellow cast to it, which I think, would make it look more brown than it really is but than you were there and I was not.

This is a Juvenile Red Tailed Hawk who at the time of the picture as far as I have seen has not left the nest for a real flight.
I would say it is a young Red Shouldered Hawk,
Definately not an Osprey, I've never seen a brown one, they are on the black and white spectrum with the exception of their eyes.

Looks like a Kestrel to me, some samples below for closer inspection.
That would be a great place to visit, I am envious of some of the places I see photos from here on the forum. I look forward to your shot from the trip in may.
