This Osprey was perched high up on a tree just off of a trail I was on that followed along the edge of a lake. I watched it for a while and waited for it to take off. It’s very hard waiting for a bird to leave its perch because sometimes it can be quite a while. As time ticks on I start thinking to myself that I could be missing some other action or missing good light while just standing around.

But luckily the Osprey did take off while I was waiting. It swooped straight down and then broke to the left behind a bunch of trees so I had to run to the other side to see where it went. It was on the far side of the lake but then started to make a U-turn. It was flying eye level to me and slowly made its way back my direction so I snapped bunch of pictures as it flew by, just before disappearing behind the trees again. I think this is a pretty unique shot of an Osprey.

This was a pretty hard image to capture but I’m very glad I did.

I think Bark Bonnet is a great name for a Mushroom.

This Ash Throated Flycatcher is taking off to go catch a bug that it was watching on the ground.

This is one of my favorite photographs I’ve taken. I can’t really put into words why. I just love it.

This is a Pigeon Guillemot flying up to land on Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon. I like the subtlety of the white markings on its wings and its red feet against the rocky cliff.

This is a male Mallard that I found splashing around at a pond during Sunset. The Sun was just about to disappear over the horizon on the opposite side of the Mallard so it lit up the water a nice golden color.
