For at least the last few weeks. I started a SmugMug account after using Flickr for the last couple years, and completely customzed my own website there. What a time consuming thing to do! Anyway, here's some recent stuff that (I hope) I haven't already posted...
HI Matt, good to see you back. That first RTH is a pretty shot even though the perch stinks #2 looks like a nice pan shot and a close encounter! I really like the lighting and the shot of #4. Nice Downy Interesting comp on the last, maybe just a bit more bird Take care............
Jakita...
Thank you! The Chickadees were all over that tree, but they're so quick! At times, they were hovering like hummingbirds around the pine cones. I shot several frames, and this was probably the best of the bunch.
Karl,
Thanks for the warm response! I found the RTH eating in a ditch on the side of the road. When I stopped to get a shot, he took off. The flight shot was luck, and it's certainly not perfect. It would have been nice to have a little negative space in front of him, but that's what I got. As for the last one, I'll have to see how much IQ I lose if I crop it more. I appreciate the comments!
Dan, Roger, & Garen...
Thanks again! That 1st one, on the "no passing" sign, wasn't my 1st choice of perch locations, like Karl said above. But I thought it was a keeper anyway. Not too often I get that close to a rth.
Larry,
Holy cr_p! I never noticed that until you pointed it out. Apparently, neither did anyone else. No wonder he didn't carrry off whatever he was eating when I found him. How would something like that happen?

Hard to say, I haven't seen this before. Perhaps it was a run-in with large prey that fought back or a car hit.
Chad...thanks for the comments, and for being a part of it all. I think we end up with a lot of the same stuff to shoot at. I've always admired the way you present your photos.
Great images. Beautiful Buck, nice and "beefy" looking. Too bad about the RTH's beak, hope he makes it.
Very good job on your web site. Can tell you spent some time working on it.
Interesting comp on the last, maybe just a bit more bird
Take care............
