Dennis Fast > BALD EAGLE NEAR NEST. It is awe-inspiring to be near an eagle nest when the adults come in to feed their young. It was nearly sunset when this female approached the nest and gave me a fantastic landing shot.
Dennis Fast > WHITE-THROATED SPARROW. In the boreal forest, the plaintive "Oh Canada, Canada, Canada" song of the White-throated Sparrow is a familiar sound. Its natty appearance also endears it to everyone who knows it.
Dennis Fast > GREAT GRAY OWL HOVER. Watching a Great Gray Owl hunting voles over a field is a lesson in patience and opportunity. Like the owl, the photographer has to know when it's a good time to strike!
Dennis Fast > NORTHERN HAWK-OWL.
Dennis Fast > BOREAL OWL IN SPRUCE TREE The Boreal Owl is one of Canada's most elusive and sought after owls. Birders and photographers sometimes travel great distances for an opportunity to see and to photograph these tiny raptors. As a result, I consider myself most fortunate in having had the occasion to photograph this bird three times in my own back yard! This bird was revealed to me by screaming Blue Jays. After walking around the tree three times staring carefully into the higher branches near the trunk of the tree where they prefer to hide, I suddenly realized it was right in front of me at eye level!
Dennis Fast > GREAT GRAY OWL LAUNCH When a Great Gray Owl hears the sound of a mouse or vole under the snow it launches into action. Its swift dive will plunge it several feet into the snow, if necessary, to catch its prey in its talons.
Dennis Fast > GREAT GRAY OWL HUNTING IN SNOWSTORM For years I had dreamed of photographing a hunting Great Gray Owl in a snowstorm. One day my friend Pat & I stumbled on one just as heavy wet snow began to fall. Anxiously I mounted my camera and telephoto lens on my tripod sure that the bird would fly before I could get this shot. Fortunately, it waited just long enough before disappearing into the forest. Then the snow stopped just as abruptly, and the dream moment was gone! Lucky for me, the memory was captured forever in my camera.
