Bird Photography:
BIRDS OF PREY & NEAR PASSERINES
of Western North AmericaEagles, Hawks, Harriers, Falcons, Owls, Doves, Pigeons, Grouse, Ptarmigan, Roadrunners, Kingfishers, etc.
The following page is devoted to some of my photographs of "Birds of Prey" such as EAGLES, HAWKS, HARRIERS, FALCONS, and OWLS and "Near Passerines" such as DOVES, PIGEONS, GROUSE, QUAIL, PTARMIGAN, CUCKOOS, PARROTS, NIGHTHAWKS, SWIFTS, TROGONS, ROADRUNNERS, AND KINGFISHERS.
Most of the birds shown on this page were photographed in Washington or British Columbia (where I lived until 2019), and a few perhaps from my travels around the western United States. Now I live in Colorado, so I will begin to add more photos of new local birds to my photo lists, as I have time and opportunity to do bird photography. However, I have many other bird photos that are not on this page, from an amazing Birding Roadtrip through several birding hotspots across the country I embarked on in Spring 2008. Links to these photos are provided.
Disclaimer: With bird photography, by first goal is to just document the bird sighting, and after I've done that my goal becomes getting a good photo of the bird. So my bird photos range from identification "I've seen that bird" photos to good "I'd hang that on my wall" photos.
