Birds of Prey!

I made it out to the Raptor Centre this past weekend!  *Insert happy dance here*  I love it there, so many beautiful birds!  Every time I go they have more, they even had two Kookaburras there!  The shots I got, however, I was less than impressed with.  (No fault of the camera, it was all operator error.)  I got quite a few good Eagle images, but the Hawks and Owls were hit and miss.  I guess I still need more quality time with my new camera.

Here are the Bald Eagle shots.  He had a feather stuck to his beak which I found distracting, so I edited it out of most of the pictures.  But, I did leave a few "au natural" for those that might prefer that :)

Peregrine Falcon:

Spectacled Owl (isn't he the cutest thang?):

Turkey Vulture:

I also tried taking a video for the first time too.  (I keep forgetting my camera does that!)  I came across this Hawk having a bath, so I thought that deserved to be seen in video.  Note to self: use a tripod when shooting vid and leave excitable toddler at home haha!
