I watched this Red-Tailed Hawk hunting in the high desert of the Owens Valley. While the jagged peaks of the Eastern Sierra are the showstopper in that area, I was pleased to come up with this composition showing off the more subtle beauty of the Inyo Mountains as the shadow cast by the Sierras crept down their face.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began. In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
