This pic of a Cooper's Hawk feasting on a pidgeon is just one of many great shots you can get hanging out around birdfeeders!

Charles Henry Eldridge: Hudson Falls, NY, United States; I am a Photographer/Writer, born in Glens Falls,N.Y., and raised in Queensbury,N.Y..I grew up on the line, where the foothills meet the Southern Adirondacks. West Mtn. was my backyard, and "MY" gateway to the Adirondacks! My roots run deep here in this neck of the woods. I've lived here 40 yrs. now, and my family before me, has called this area home for centuries. The changes I've seen gives me a sad heart, and makes me feel a gradual erosion of our (somewhat) simple way of life, is inevitable. I grew up in an era when kids spent most of their time outdoors! I've always been drawn to Nature, and have developed a love and connection as close as a child to it's parent! We all need to be stewards of our sacred, one of a kind(?) planet! Through my photography and writing, I hope to open eyes, and bring enough respect, so decisions won't way in favor of greed, but scientific fact and common sense! We need to preserve as much as possible for future generations! Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to say hi through my Guest Book, it's always nice to see who my visitor's are! Be Well,Live Large,and Peace Be The Journey! -CHE
