Thanks to the wonderful work of Cory and Web dog services I have finally graduated from a blog, to a web page.. Time to spread my wings and get things a little better organized.. Please bare with me, as I slowly learn all the new buttons and whistles here..

I am also very excited about having a new Gallery, once I get the photos uploaded it will make it easier to find those prints you have been looking for to hang in your home or office….

I promise I will get to it soon..Hawk and I have been working on some specialty antler items that I will be offering soon as well..

Don’t forget to stop by Web dog and enter for the chance to win a website make over..

…..And while I stood there, I saw more than I can tell….

……And understood more than I saw;

For I was seeing in a sacred manner……….

This is where you take the picture anyhow….. all the while saying to your self …

“Please turn around, Please turn around before you fly away!”

And It DID!!
Once again I was able to photograph a bird sitting on the same stretch of barbed wire fence that I photographed the Meadowlark, and red winged black bird on last summer.. Only this one was a bit larger!

Winter Hawk

Last February I posted these words with a different photograph of the beautiful

Rough legged Hawk.

THEY’RE BACK !
Each winter we are honored to be visited by these beautiful little birds from the north.

They are one of the only hawks that you will see “hovering” above a field waiting for their prey to show itself.

In early spring, these wonderful little winter hawks head back to their breeding grounds in the arctic tundra. When these birds begin their migration back to the north in late winter it is a sure sign that spring is quickly approaching. We bid farewell, knowing that in this never-ending circle of life they will return once again to announce the changing of the seasons.

Welcome back little hawks~

For those of you who don’t already know, I am a licenced Falconer *(page here)* and have recently acquired a new red tail hawk. I have decided to recruit you, the most creative people I know, to help me name this bird, I don’t have any photo of her to post yet, but will keep you posted of her progress on the falconry page.

So what do you say? Are you up for the challenge?
