To think the little delicate creatures fly thousands of miles a year - amazing !!

This male Snowy Owl stayed along the coastline of NH on the move looking for food, flying along the rooftops.

On a crisp winter day against a deep blue sky the Snowy dives off her perch to capture her first meal, a vole.

As the Great Horned Owl prepares for flight she streaches her powerful wings.

On this snowy morning this Blackcapped Chickadee was enjoying the weather.

This was a gorgeous day brought to life off the waters reflection.

This osprey nest is quite crowded with the young fledgling Osprey. The one with spread wings is seeming to say ' I will protect you my brothers &

As the Cormorant takes to flight with the background of a mill reflected off the water bringing a surreal effect to the image.

This young 2 month old Owl was beginning to try his wings - shot this in the evening as the sun set against the trees.

A beautiful nature walk through a nature reserve in Hadley MA.

Early one morning we went out to check out the local wildlife, as I stopped the car at an intersection we spotted this Kestral with a fresh kill.

The beauty of the translucent delicate wings of a hummingbird.
