Red tailed hawk in flight over a field, and me, while I was tracking it with my camera. Osprey with sucker in talons after just pulling up and out of the water.

This was in March of 2020. Was sitting in my car for an hour or more during a cold, rainy & blustery day watching a pair of kestrel falcons off in the distance feeding and sitting on a wire. After an hour, with my window down and protecting my camera from the elements, I was shocked to see the male fly down to where the female was sitting and then the rest is history. I have never witnessed this and it was a capture I won't forget. It shows what patience and keeping a safe and fairly secluded distance away can provide.

Walking in a field late June when I saw a mother feeding her young on a barbed-wire fence. Time and again she swooped over the field & pond & quickly returned with insects. This continued for a very long time and they seemed to be totally unaware of my presence and the pictures I was taking of them. August is their peak migration time.
