I took this photo in Ketchikan, Alaska.  There were more eagles in this port city than any of the other ports of call on our cruise.

birdshooter > Lake Isabelle in Lake Houston State Park             

On a recent birding trip to Lake Houston State Park we were taken to Lake Isabelle adjacent to the San Jacinto River.  The lake is home to an osprey which we flushed from one of the trees on the other side.  I saw the still water and tall cypress trees reflection, composed a photo and shot this exposure without a tripod.

birdshooter > Barred Owl
This is one of my favorite photographs and one of the first I ever took as a bird photographer.  I happened to be walking the Red Buckeye Trail in eastern part of Brazos Bend State Park in mid-Oct and saw this Barred Owl perched.  I approached him quietly with a Nikon F100 with a 300mm lens.  His attention was focused on the ground.  I snapped several slides of him before he leaped off the branch to the ground and onto a green lizzard.  He took the lizzard up about 40 feet in an oak and consumed him.  His flight down to the ground and up into the oak tree was as silent as a butterfly.  They are amazing animals.
