Minnesota Birds
Birds of Minnesota, and especially in my own back yard in Minneapolis. In photographing birds, I go after the details; I want to be looking the bird in the eye. And that means getting close, even if it involves a bit of trickery.
I enjoy watching birds in a hard Minnesota winter, and learning about amazing skills and knowledge they need in order to survive here year round.
Prints of all my photos are available here.

Hawk eyes
Close-up portrait of a Krider's red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), also known as the chickenhawk. The Krider's hawk is distinguished from other red-tailed hawks by its lighter coloring. This one is a permanent resident at the University of Minnesota Raptor Center.
