It took a bit of luck and patience to finally get a shot of the moon rising next to one of our local Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis).

This was created using focus stacking in PS from two images. The scene was the same; one was focused on the hawk, the other on the moon. #birds #moon #wildlife

A wolf has come to Los Angeles County for the first time in more than a century Around 6 a.m. Saturday, the 3-year-old female arrived in the mountains north of Santa Clarita, as tracked by a GPS collar.

There’s a wolf in LA for the first time in 100 years. A collared gray wolf entered the mountains of north Los Angeles County yesterday. Known as “BEY03F” she traveled hundreds of miles from her pack in Plumas County crossing highways, mountains, creeks and valleys.
