Cormorant Taking Flight1702 viewsThese birds are so primal it's not even funny. Very difficult to shoot except in great light as the image demonstrates. More talented photographers may be able to capture these modern dinosaurs but I am baffled and awed by their expertise.

381 viewsA couple of friends (one of which is the guru of the hipikats website) and I like to shoot the swallows (Violet Green here) when they go for feathers for play. Yes, they do use them for their nests, but they play for hours grabbing them off the water, taking them up with their buddies, dropping them in flight and letting someone else carry the feather up and drop it, etc. It is one of the most joyous things in all of the bird world. This rivals the mating dances of the Birds of Paradise to me. Way cool.

35 viewsThe heron is between myself and the lens. The silhouette is enough but the exposure also has the detail of the profile which makes this work in complete allegiance to the grace and beauty of this magnificent bird.

1 viewsA flock of White Pelicans grooming for their morning flight from their night roost in the Klamath Preserve. Taken in November 2007. These are awesome birds. Grand wingspans and just plain intelligent. Calm does not capture the feel I get when I see these creatures. Serenity is much closer.

Wood Duck Pair5 viewsHave yet to catch these birds in flight. They look pretty good in water, though. A flight shot is my goal.
