Merry Christmas!

Hello!

My Boxing Day of birding and photography thwarted by rain, I decided to head to a nearby provincial park for the promise of Barred Owls with my father.  We were not disappointed, and found three Barreds in the dim, gloomy weather.  I haven't yet sorted all of the shots, but wanted to get one up while I had a moment.  Hope everyone's holiday is treating them well!

Barred Owl (Strix varia) - 100%

























The dark overcast conditions (and admittedly a slip-up on the white-balance setting of the camera) give the image a bluish cast...I'm not sure if it works or not, but I'm happy all things considered.

Cheers!

Sunny Florida

Hello!

After a long, snow-less fall we are suddenly blanketed here in Orillia. Makes me think of sunny Florida. To encourage warmer thoughts, here are some photos from a previous trip to the sunshine state.

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) feeding chick



Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) eye detail
















Florida Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens) - endemic to Florida

























American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
















Think warm!

New Website!

Hello!

After an initial plan and months of procrastination, I have finally applied myself and gotten a website up!  Clearly I am no web designer...I am hoping that someday I will take the time to learn, and break out of the template imposed by the idiot-proof site-building software, but for now it will do.  My ultimate plan is to sell photography from the website, but in the meantime it will act as an online portfolio of sorts.  I can be found at www.kylehorner.com (confusing, I know).

Cheers!
Kyle
