Raptors - Tyenne Travelin' 2025 - CycleBlaze

Raptors

Raptors (Birds of prey) are a large, diverse group including multiple families encompassing such birds as eagles, kites, falcons, condors, vultures, owls and the like.  Some of my favorite photos are in this group, so it's a good one for testing out the organizational structure.  It wouldn't be surprising if the group ends up subdividing or if we end up grouping some into matrices.  I'll probably start by corralling all the raptor photos I'm enthusiastic about just as a learning experiment.

Scott AndersonTo Karen PoretThis was so amazing. You don't see these hawks very often, or get a good look at them. This guy was all but in my house when I came home at the end of a ride. This our next door neighbor's fence on their alley.

CJ HornDid you actually catch them in the middle of hanky panky? That has got to be rare.

Scott AndersonTo CJ HornI could hardly believe it. I should have included the entire three or four shots that led up to this. I think I will. Check back in a bit.

I've never seen anything like this. Might as well include the whole series.
