One of the best experiences of my life being 8000ft up just a few feet from a Golden Eagle! Massive animal 2wk ⋅ AKiLLeZenergy ⋅ r/birdsofprey
I've taken a lot of photos of my favorite eagles in the last year (Ohio). I took this today and it was instantly one of my all-time favorites. Not many creatures get to see this stare and live to tell about it. And those talons have their own story to tell! Such raw beauty.1mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey
Here's a photo I took of a Great Gray Owl on this week's adventure. I had a great time, though it was rough on me. I slipped and fell flat on my back in the middle of the road about two hours before I got this photo. Seeing this glorious creature took the pain away, though. Minnesota.4mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey
I wasn't going to share this particular photo, but I changed my mind. I had never seen a Snowy Owl before last week--this one here was my very first. When she looked at me, all the trip research, planning, and driving was instantly worth it. It was a life-first for me and I'll never forget her.4mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey
I don't have the words to tell you how I felt when I got this photo (Sunday in MN). I teared up. I worked so hard over the last few months to get such an opportunity. Shooting conditions weren't perfect, neither is the picture, but this was literally on my bucket list (Snowy coming at me).3mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey

I just got back from an 8-day road trip. I took it to find and photograph two birds I've never seen before--the Snowy Owl and the Great Gray Owl. I found both, and I was blown away by their majesty. I'll be posting some of the photos. Here's the first. Hope you enjoy it. Snowy Owl. Canada.4mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey

I got up at 0500 this morning. Then I drove 90 minutes to sit in a freezing-cold field, alone and quiet, waiting for the sun to rise. This is why I do such things. Ohio.5mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey

On my 8-day, 4,200-mile road trip, I saw 25 Snowy Owls and 3 Great Gray Owls. My trip far exceeded my expectations. Looking for--and finding--Snowy Owls in the middle of frigid Nowhere, Canada, without any other humans in sight, was cathartic, beautiful, and life-changing. It fed my soul.4mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey

I took 8TB of photos during my first year in wildlife photography. I picked this as my best from that period. I worked hard for it. Many days, hours, and miles in the cold.

I cropped this shot to make it a widescreen wallpaper for my monitor. This is perhaps my favorite photograph from my recent trip. I love there are several layers to the depth of it.

For those of you who have never seen a baby bald eagle's poop shot, now you can say you have. The little fella got some good distance on that one! Ohio, Thursday.3wk ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey
I have watched a lot of eagles in my lifetime. Thousands. I don't recall ever seeing one carrying a stick quite this long. Some of the stick was left out on the bottom of my capture, but the whole stick she was carrying had to be at least 8-9 feet in length. She's a pro! Ohio6mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey

This is Orv. He lives in Dayton, Ohio with his partner, Willa. Orv had already delivered a fish to the Willa and the eaglets on the nest before this picture of him resting.

I had my shutter speed pretty low while taking a static shot of this Great Gray when it suddenly dove off the perch. I hate it when that happens, but that's life. I don't like blur. Some do.

Here's another Snowy Owl from my trip last week. It wasn't flying away, rather just landed. On this area of my search, there wasn't anything to perch on, so all the owls I saw were on the ground. Saskatchewan, Canada.4mo ⋅ WaywardWolverine ⋅ r/birdsofprey
