Birds of Prey

For me captureing wildlife in action is the ultimate form of presenting the true spirit of nature. The miracle of flight is a true wonder, who among us has not watched an eagle soar and wished for an instant that you could glide above the earth floating on the air currents free as a bird I believe the saying goes.
For me, photographing a creature as beautiful and powerful as a hawk or an eagle or a bird as small and fragile as a tiny hummer or the tiny Bushtit is the equivalent of a football star scoring the winning toucdown in the superbowl or a major league ball player hitting the winning homerun in the world series.
