Awesome shot, DC. Nicely done.

Ed, how do you get these critters to come so close?

600mm and crop

Seriously, the jackrabbits at the NWR are used to cars, so they don't spook too bad as you drive by.

Ed, interesting coyote shot. It see you, but it's not slinking off.

Here's my coyote from this morning:

Nice one Dave. That guy was the "rear guard" for a pack that were moving away from me.

Very Cool Terry! Sorry I've been awol for a while, I've got some new content to share though.

I will definitely be looking for some C&C on the ones to come... I have no idea what I'm doing with these edits.

Welcome back, Shane.

Your shot shows best where it's full-screen. When I saw it here, at first, I didn't realize that it was trees against snow. It shows well full-screen, but at this size, I'd probably raise Shadows. However, when you start processing for different sizes, then you quickly get into never-never land. I'd say, leave it as is.

dcstep · 02-27-2017, 08:32 AM

Terry, mean looking scorpion!

Ed, nice shot of the kite.

Do kites hunt pretty much like harriers?

This is one of my all time favs. It's a baby Eastern Screech Owl popping its head out at dusk. Not long after we moved into our home, I did a lot of work to naturalize our property and make it nature friendly. I built and hung three owl boxes. Two were in the woods at what I thought were prime locations for owls to nest. The third, I figured wtf, and hung it in a tree in our front yard about 25 ft from the house facing right into my kids bedroom window. Low and behold a pair of owls decided to use that one for their nesting box. We got to watch them all season from the time the two adults (a red phase male and a gray phase female) set up shop until they fledged. It was an awesome way to introduce the kids to the beauty of nature.
