Thanks Geoff for getting the ball rolling!

second quarter was tough to choose as that is when most of my birding was done during spring migration

Thanks for starting the annual thread Geoff. Lots of great shots posted thus far. Here's a gyrfalcon from the first quarter, and a male black crowned night heron from the second.

My second from the first quarter...honestly, I usually know exactly what I want to post but am really conflicted this year...but it is hard for me not to post at least one cat image. I had envisioned this type of image for many years and although its not exactly what I'd seen in my mind's eye...close enough to make it one of my faves of the year.

Spring brings the most opportunities, so it was hard to pick what to post for Apr-Jun. But I had so much fun with birds on mullein stalks that I just had to pick something from the "mullein forest".

Thanks Geoff, I was just thinking about this thread the other day and wondering when it would begin.

1) January to March. Fortunate to have a neighborhood Northern Hawk Owl this past year in Eau Claire Wisconsin. "Lars" 1/13/15

2) April to June. I put the advice provided by this forum to photograph the wood ducks in my backyard pond. 4/15/15.

These threads are a joy, inspiring, intimidating and must-see viewing for anyone trying to improve their work (like me)

This is as close to a Snowy Owl as I've ever been, my first quarter work.

Here's a couple from New Years Day....
Just once a year, for about a week, I might find some otters...

And while waiting for otters, a bald eagle may soar the canyon...
