There was an exhibit of large birds at Merlefest. I think it was from the NC dept of something-or-other (didn't look at the literature - too interested in the birds).
Here's a barn owl:
Nikon D100, 75-240mm
Here's an african raven:
Nikon D100, 75-240mm
More birds later.
The full series:
They’re both beautiful, but the owl is magnificent. You’re one talented individual, Mr. C.
thanks. :)
I second the fixer’s sentiments. The red-tailed hawk’s pretty special as well. And I enjoyed the entire Merlefest series enormously. Not my favorite kinda music, but very talented artists and so much more fun when everybody’s so into it. Thanks!
glad you liked it :)
i wish the hawk wasn’t so over-exposed. but i got him in a good pose, so that almost makes up for it.
I grew up thinking Red-tail Hawks were called “Splatter-ass Hawks”.
that’s an unusual name .. :)
why ?
