    Welcome aboard flycaster! Beautiful shots and really enjoy the raptor! It looks like it's keying in on some prey by the looks of those eyes or maybe you for the photo opp!

    Starling and herl is a go to fly for me for trout. I'm sure it would be perfect for breams.

    Saw a hot air balloon out east near Smith Rock yesterday morning. I went out to grab a quick photo. While out there a couple of our more common winter birds came close.

    Saw this awesome red tailed hawk perched on a dead juniper branch watching the ducks on the pond close to my house. She was so accommodating, set there a long time, even flew down to check out something in the long grass next to the pond and then flew right back up into the juniper. Gotta love raptors.
