Short-eared Owls are winter visitors in western New York where they hunt over harvested farm fields and survey from bare trees. On this crisp, icy December afternoon, owls and Northern Harriers started scouring the landscape well before sunset and scenes of solitary survival skills were on view all around.

Nature photography has become a very passionate hobby of mine and whenever I get a chance I love to get outside and enjoy being outdoors. I am also the co-owner of KGM Expressions, a wedding and portrait photography business, with my wife Kim. This is how we make our living and I love that we get to do that together.
