Rough legged hawk (Buteo lagopus) A hawk of the North, the Rough-legged Hawk breeds in Arctic tundra and taiga regions around the northern hemisphere. Both dark and light forms are common, with many birds intermediate between the extremes. / The name “Rough-legged” Hawk refers to the feathered legs. The Rough-legged Hawk, the Ferruginous Hawk, and the Golden Eagle are the only American hawks to have legs feathered all the way to the toes. Taken in Las Vegas NWR, New Mexico, November 2005.
I came very close to him today, without him flying away. Taken at my workplace in Port Hardy, BC, with my DMC FZ-50.
Golden Eagles are known for their very good eyesight…..so better watch out when you’re little and tasteful ;-) Acrylics on MDF, 2007, 61×61 cm, 24’‘x24’‘ /
Went to the Native American Pow Wow this weekend and the Eagle was part of the closing ceremony.
WILD & FREE / / Polar bear mother praying for some ice so she may hunt to feed her cubs. / / The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so! / / I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut! (Spitsbergen – Scandinavian Arctic) / /
I added the clouds in hard light blending mode at 45%, added a blur and flattened. Took this photo outside of Cashion this afternoon. Thanks for looking! Shot with my Sony A-100
This picture was taken over the USAFA. The cloudscape looks to me like a giant bird. I experimented with filters to enhance the picture. /

After a few visits and many hours of waiting patiently and after numerous failed attempts I eventually captured this shot of one of the eagles returning to the nest clutching a fish in its talons. I was truly inspired by the event and returned to photograph at the same nest site the following two years.
