  • Uff-Da!
  • Finally got some sun on this pair of peregrine falcons. It's a great start of the season here in Southern California, hopefully there will be a lot of chicks this year (2017).
    Not there, you moron!

  • One of my most exciting Summer project is photographing several family of burrowing owls that live near me. Each burrow can have up to twelve owlets at a time and it is up to the parents to feed their babies. It certainly does not look like an easy job. I hope I was not like some of these owlets growing up.

  • This the resident osprey of our local wetland. The Chinese mid-autumn festival full moon was rising when I spotted him hanging around his usual spot. I thought of this poem from Li Bai and the festivities that I would have with my family if I were not thousands of miles away.<br />

床前明月光<br />
疑是地上霜<br />
举头望明月<br />
低头思故乡<br />

(Bright moonlight before my bed; I suppose there is frost on the ground. I raise my head to view the bright moon, then lower it, thinking of my home village)
    Mid Autumn Full Moon

  • Wood duck shows dimorphism meaning the female and the male have distinct forms that they can be very easily distinguished. The female wood duck is more gray-brown-ish and not as colorful as her male counterpart. But as this particular hen swim into the reeds reflection, all of the colors come together really well and enhance the rather dull plumage.

  • Turn, tern, turn!
  • The "rush" is one of the most wonderful behavior of the western grebes. The rush started with two birds turn to one side, lunge forward in synchrony, their bodies completely out of the water, and race across the water side by side with their necks curved gracefully forward. (From: AllAboutBirds.org). The small in the frame composition here sets this beautiful behavior against the reeds surrounding the lake.
