Like none other. :)

Dori and I found this guy intact in Charleston, but I broke it while rinsing it. Suffice to say it was incredibly delicate.

Dori and I did a walk today around Johnson Lake, in Raleigh. We spotted this guy early on, and he was kind enough to only fly a little ways off. This bird is a juvenile sharp shinned hawk, or so we think. Apologies for the minor foreground branches, that was the best sight line I could get.

Dori and I went to Mason Farm around sunset tonight, and managed to spot this barred owl a good 100-150 feet away on a branch. It was pure luck that there was a natural sight line.

This little guy sat still for quite some time. Long enough for me to notice him, forget about him & go read some email, then come back and take several pictures of him.

Not pictured: perhaps the best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted.
