Birds of prey/raptors pt 1 baby owls

yeah it's about time right? well here is the first one in the series. I'm focusing on baby owls as they are always one of my favorite things to take pictures of and babies are always cute. So sit back and please enjoy..
this is one of two baby burrowing owls that I have found. the other is camera shy and didn't want anything to do with me. Someone has posted the location of these owls on some bird site and there has been a lot of people hanging around taking photos. I have located two other neat areas but I'm not telling anyone where to find them. some people have no respect for the birds or the pricey of other people's lands.
The above photos are of a baby great horned owl. I have been taking photos of it's parents for a couple of years now. they have gotten used to me to the point where if I wake them they just go back to sleep. I'm okay with that really. My next scheduled post will be on a mixed bag of raptors, but there may be a post or two from Yellowstone/Grand twins thrown in there as well. I'm leaving the afternoon off the 8th to hunt down my sister whom ii haven't seen in a long time of course I'll be packing my cameras for all the goodies I will see along the way. but I'm really looking forward to seeing my sis.

Every so often I am going to post some pictures that arent "just" from the latest trip. but are just random pictures that I happen to like. I may or may not have a comment about a photo. The idea is to just have some photos that you will like. It would be great if you would share this page with friends and family. I will be selling prints of my photos soon so be looking for that post coming up shortly. Please leave me a comment if you like these. i can't change things up if i don't know its needed. Thanks foe stopping by.

Sorry to jump a blog post ahead on you, but things happen and sometimes its for the better. This is one of those times. I have been planning on getting a new camera for a while now and had been saving up to do just that. Last week though the camera gods smiled on me and I not only was able to get the camera I wanted, I was able to get the lens and adapters and even some extra batteries. Now all this without dipping into my savings so thats a bonus. So now that I got all that I needed to go test it out, so where did I go? Why I went to Turnbull National wildlife resurve naturely. The camera I got is the Canon R7, its a mirrorless crop sensor. So that means that all my EF lenses wouldn't work with the camera inless I put an adapter on the lens. Now when I am spending that kind of money I do my resurch so I new what I needed and how I would configure the camera for my type of photography. The camera came in Tuesday so I spent a good part of my evening setting it up the way I

Day one in Yellowstone wasn't a big bear day. (Not that day two was either) I seen one Black Bear cub and couldn't get a good photo of it as I was stopped on the road with no where to pull over. I snapped a quick shot of it in the shade as it was walking away from me. Not worth posting the photo of so I wont. (see how I am) Day two I seen two count them TWO Black Bears. One was petty far away but the photos turned out okay-iish so I will post one for the first photo of this blog. see if you can find it. The second one was much, much closer and I was able to get some really good shots of it eating Ants, Termites and or Grubs. (I wasn't that close to see what it was eating) It tore into a log at one point and was digging in the ground as well as walking along logs and eating something. Now the Title of this post is me naming something "Shaggy" It was this Bear. One look at it and you'll know why I named it that. I don't know if its a male or female, its y
