  1. On The Road

    While my wife and I were traveling north into Arkansas on Friday (10 May 2024), I spotted a hawk perched on a powerline along a road in the Ozark mountains. I pulled over and grabbed my camera. Later, one of my granddaughters asked what species it was — and looking at a tiny phone photo of a bird 50–100 yards away, I wasn’t sure. Now that I’m back home and can check it properly, it’s a red‑shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus).

  6. Kite in the Blue

    I spotted this Mississippi kite (Ictinia mississippiensis) circling overhead, and I’m pretty sure it spotted me right back. They’re relatively small raptors, built for high, effortless soaring, and this one seemed unusually interested in my backyard. Mississippi kites don’t typically go after other birds, but with all the anoles skittering around the house, it may have been scouting for a quick snack.

  11. Hidden Hawk

    Here’s a red‑tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) I spotted one morning while Charlie and I were out walking. The bird was part of a pair perched in a small stand of trees, doing their best to stay tucked away and unbothered. From a distance the scene looks great, but once you zoom in, the image starts to show its limits. I kept wishing I’d brought my big camera that morning — of course, that was the day I didn’t. I had a pretty powerful camera with me, just not the most powerful one in my arsenal.

    We’ve gone back that way a few times since, camera in hand, hoping to catch them again. No luck so far. Some birds give you one chance and then vanish into the trees like they were never there at all.

  17. Searching for Death

    This turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) rose out of the forest this morning (4 May 2024), beginning its slow ascent into the sky to start its relentless search for food. It passed to my east, giving me just enough time to raise my camera and capture a few shots. This image shows the vulture’s face more clearly than any other in‑flight photo I’ve taken.

  22. Super excited to have finally confirmed the location of our local Swainson's Hawks nest for this year! They moved a bit south of the area they have nested in for years.

    So now I want to know, how many babies do you think they will have this year?
