This Scissor-Tailed Fly Catcher is one of only two North American birds whose tail is longer than his body.




On Christmas day this year I received a gift from this Red Breasted Sapsucker, he hung out on this tree for about two hours while I took close to 200 pictures of him. These are a few of my favorites.






Golden Fronted Woodpecker


Ring Necked Pheasant



Raven in Bryce Canyon




Black Vulture


Turkey Vulture



This Turkey Vulture was in a wild bird preserve in Austin Texas. The overall haze in the shot is due to the chain link fence that I was shooting through.



This picture of an immature Bald Eagle was taken from the helicopter while I was running Whirlybird photo.
