Was trying to get video of drumming grouse and got this Barred owl instead.

After living in suburbia for decades I find living in an oak and pine forest with an assortment of animals is a refreshing change. I have replaced the cheap trail cameras with their overly sensitive motion detection, small images and poor lenses with a network of Cuddeback cameras. The spring feed pond is favorite place for birds and animals both during the day and at night.

A Red-Tailed Hawk coming in for a landing. I just thought this was a really cool picture with the sun behind it shining through the feathers.

We back to a ranch on the south side of Metro Denver, and commonly see deer, coyotes, some elk and fox, and various raptors. Our camera is about four feet off the ground, even with the top of our fence. I happened to see this hawk sitting briefly on the fence next to the camera, but was surprised to find such a remarkably clear shot of both the hawk and its lunch!
