The eaglet has landed!

Moments of great joy are still possible for me. I actually teared up when I visited today. #birds #BaldEagles #raptors 🪶🪶🪶🪶

Looking forward to an afternoon at the Ohio Bird Sanctuary for a chance to photograph up to 6 different raptors. With only 22 enrolling, it will be a new and exciting experience for this new photog. #birds #photography #nature #raptors #Nikon

This juvenile red-tailed hawk must’ve had a full belly, as it was unbothered by all of the activity on the nearby trail.

Front office and decision makers will sell making the playoffs as big success and use it to justify roster continuity. #Raptors were already ranked 5th in roster continuity to start the season.

In many regards, #Raptors season lives up to the proverbial glass half empty/full till the very end.

Will probably clinch a playoff berth for the 1st time since 2022 -- nice.

But shot themselves in the foot by losing gimme games (hello, Kings?) and will likely face a team they've lost 5x to.

A photo of a barred owl (Strix varia), a large gray owl with brown vertical stripes and barring, a rounded fuzzy head with no ear tufts, a sharp yellow beak, and black eyes. It is perched on a bare tree branch facing the camera with green conifers filling up the background behind it in diffuse lighting on a cloudy day.

One of the woodsiest local birds I can think of for #BirdOfTheDay #Woodland, and one that might work for #Juveniles as well, as I think the fuzzy head indicates this is a very young bird? Not 100% on that.

Barred owl!

A very large golden brown bird with a heavy hooked beak glides to the left with wings spread out and slightly down through a frame filled with thin branches and trees with dappled sunlight shining on its back.

It's hard to slip silently through the trees when the geese below are yammering in alarm.

Raps have yet to beat a top 4 seed in either conference this season 0-26. Tonight its against the Knicks.

I say they do it. RJ 50 piece. #raptors #cardsky

#Connect2Nature - Great Horned Owl
There is something mesmirizing about the stare and focus of an owl on the hunt.

Note for the photo purists. I do edit my images, never to add things, but to play with light. Just like Ansel Adams did in his darkroom.
