Thanks serendipidy, Northstar, candyman, click and rbielefeld!

My weekend was full so I didn't get a chance to really do much shooting but Tuesday evening I left work only an hour late and visited an area in the Tijuana River Valley for the evening light. Had a Costa's hummingbird that only liked the blooms in the shade but I really wanted the juxtaposed colors.

Gorgeous photo

Nice, that's the view I normally see of them too

 

[falcnr]

a buzzard

Correct ID is a Harris Hawk and it looks like a male. Nice Pic ;o)

This angry wild prairie falcon was captured about 15-20ft from my head travelling very fast (and with deadly intent). Although many of us are capable of tracking such an object through a large telephoto lens, my experience has been getting our cameras focussing algorithms to nail it constantly is the hardest part ... 1DMKIV Canon 500mm F4 hand held, 1/3200 ISO 400, F5.6, Manual.

1. Juvenile gull
2. Mixed flock of snow geese and speckled bellies rising from prairie pond
3. Geese flying past inland grain terminal

Image number 3 ...Curious is this Carsland Grain terminal near Calgary, AB ? ;O)
