A young Bald Eagle fledgeling rests briefly on a large granite rock, its beady eagle eyes focused intently on you as it spreads its yellow talons. This is a very young bird so it doesn't yet have the trademark white head and coloring.

This Horned Owl was injured along a roadside and nursed back to health at a large bird rescue. Unable to be reintroduced into the wild, it is now captive and used for educational presentations by the local Zoo. Here it feeds on a young baby chick for lunch!

A Sharp-Shinned Hawk is perched on a branch very close to my bird feeders in upstate New York. He is hoping to catch a meal. This hawk's prey is mostly small birds. Although the "Sharpie" is the smallest hawk in North America, he is a very fierce predator. As soon as I got the photo, I chased him away! This black and white poster is a digital photograph, enhanced to emphasize the dramatic effect of this hunter's fierce nature.
