The Medina Raptor Center rehabs all sort of critters, not just raptors. They do an excellent job and clearly love and respect these animals. Josh Clark set up this shoot for a bunch of lucky photographers from NPEG. Beautiful day, maybe a tad too sunny, but in December you just can't complain about having sunshine.
These were all shot with a Nikon 80 - 400mm lens. Overall, these are much better than the previous years, with a 28 - 300 mm Nikon lens.
Now for the owls - hawks, vulture and eagle in another post.
I love snowy owls - and would really like to photograph one in the wild someday.
This handsome bird is a Great Horned owl.
And my personal favorite from this shoot, the barred owl. Cute as a button, but that fluffy, big-eyed exterior hides a fierce predator's heart.
