Of all the subjects I photograph, birds of prey are my favorite. These predators are birds that hunt for food primarily via flight, using their keen senses, especially vision. Many different species call Orange County, California their home. With some moderate hiking and a small dose of patience, it is possible to capture most of these magnificent feathered friends in their natural habitat.<\/p>\n

I have attached a number of my favorite raptor photographs here, but this list is not all inclusive. Pictured are the Bald Eagle, White-tailed Kite, Great Horned Owl, Coopers Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Osprey, Turkey Vulture, Northern Harrier, Kestrel and the Golden Eagle. Please scroll thru the attached photos to view my collection of these beautiful creatures.<\/p>\n
