Horse, Colt and Turkey Dec 19, 2009

Many horses were out in the cold. One little colt just caught my eye. Over 150 wild turkeys were in the farmers fields.

Frozen Shots Dec 19, 2009

When we started out on Dec 19 everything was fozen. I wish I had a macro lens as it was just beautiful outside and the leaves and berries were frozen.

Jen and Jeff - Dec 19, 2009

A few shots of my friends Jen and Jeff. It got a little nuts taking photos of each other. For most of the morning on Dec 19 there was nothing to be seen so it came down to taking shots of each other. By the way it was soooooooooooo cold. Tears came to our eyes after 5 minutes.

Great Black Backed Gulls and Loon Dec 19, 2009

Over the weekend I was out with my mom, my friends Jen and Jeff and then again on my way home. A few shots of the loon and great black backed gulls.

Harrier vs Red Tail Hawk Dec 14, 2009

Oh the last day of my holidays. I was on my way to my daughters when I saw a red tail hawk. Pulled over (I was on a back road) and decided to watch. He flew from the tree to a berm and a harrier comes flying behind him. I tried to get some shots but really they were too far away and I did not have the right settings. It was fascinating watching them. This is the time I wish I had a 500 F4 but honestly watching was just as good. The red tail landed on a post and the harrier kept attacking him. He just sat there and finally flew back in the same tree he started in.

The photos are very poor but hopefully you will capture what I saw.

Snowy Owl - Male pure white oh my Dec 13, 2009

Decided to try one more time to find the snowy owl. Well I had success. I was driving down the road and a man had stopped and was looking aroun so I asked him "have you seen the owl" and he says "its right above your head" did I move fast.
These are not great shots as it was rain/snow and totally cloudy. I decided to put the talon shot up as it was all I could get when he decided to go. Thank you to the gentleman for showing me the owl. Enjoy

Deer, Great Blue Heron, Hawks and more Dec 12, 2009

Today I decided to just take a drive about. Stopped at Halls Road first. 2 deer were in the bush on the side of the road. At Thicksons a nice kestrel, and finally at Highland Creek a surprise Great Blue Heron.
