The left pitcher was taken in the Texas Panhandle
The next one was captured in North Central Arkansas off of Highway 235
Followed by two in flight

These two beauties were taken on a very cold January on the Appalachian Trail in Virginian

I was driving down Highway 31 and Lonoke County when I saw this hawk dive down and captured its prey. In these pictures the hawk was tearing the flesh from its victim.

This beauty was found in the Everglades

Down in southern Florida the Everglades is where you'll find osprey these pictures are from December 2000. When I update this page I have some interesting pictures of their nests.

This is a Barred Owl. It was a lucky find I was floating through some islands in the Potomac River when I saw it. So I quietly steered the canoe and took pictures as I floated by. According to the Audubon society it is rarely seen in the daytime. Taken 5/10/01
Surprising what things happen in this tree
