From little falcons to massive eagles, raptors are always a focus of my camera. These aggressive birds are fascinating to me and oftentimes, just thrilling to watch and a challenge to photograph.
Here is a look back at some of my favorite captures of them from the past year. Among the species you will see are the American kestrel, merlins, prairie falcons, red tailed hawks, Swainson’s hawks, Cooper’s hawks, golden eagles and of course bald eagles.
