Advan's Raptor Photography

Not bad!!! Pretty cool actually.

Thanks Michael!

Great Photos, search for Morten Hilmer on YouTube, he has very good videos. Have you ever tried sitting in a hide with bait in front of the hide (bait can be like a dead rabbit or something) you can get stunning photos that way!

Thanks! I'll have to check him out.

Baiting is a very hot topic in the birding/raptor world and I am personally against it. I'd much rather see the birds hunt naturally.

Been slacking on actually going out looking for owls. April and I gave it a shot Monday at a local spot. She spotted the male within 5 mins of arrival.

Awesome pics!
Barred owls are my favorite.

Well...it's that time of the year again. Getting colder and leaves dropping making it a little easier to find owls! Hopefully this winter I'll get to photograph a lot of these raptors!

They are a pain to find but you get better at it as you practice and put in the time and miles. You'd be surprised by how many owls we walk by/don't see.
