5. Here it comes!, originally uploaded by A. Drauglis Furnituremaker.
I had heard that birds of prey will regurgitate “pellets” of undigested food, but had never seen one of these or seen a picture of the act.
While wandering around my Father-in-law’s neighborhood and adjacent park in Denver, I came across this Red-tailed Hawk perched on a fence. In addition to being quite cooperative (I came to within six feet of it), it also provided me with a bit of a show.
And check out my first book, which is a collection of some of my best bird portraits. This shot isn’t in it, but will probably make the second collection!
