April 6, 2008 I had some free time, so I went back to my older diary pages and I have added thumbnails to help guide viewers to page favorites. Take a look at the previous years and tell me what you think.
January 6, 2008 Dealing with the oil spill took its toll on me. That and my day job have kept me quite busy and distracted. I had hoped to get this calendar done earlier, but better late than never. It wasn't easy to decide which images to use. There are only 12 months plus the cover and I wanted to include one of each kind of species commonly found here, but the shots had to be sharp and special enough to include. I have yet to get a good shot of a Northern Harrier, and Merlins so far have escaped me completely. Obviously no calendar can do justice to the incredible diversity we are blessed with in the Bay Area, but here is my humble attempt. In it you will find shots of Red-tailed Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, White-tailed Kites plus one shot each of a Cooper's Hawk and an American Kestrel. So for those interested, here is a link to my 2008 Calendar Raptors of the San Francisco Bay Region
Best Regards, Glenn
October 3, 2007 So much has happened since I wrote last. Check out my raptor diary for the latest images. In addition, I was approached by Kate Davis of the non-profit Raptors of the Rockies. She is doing a book on falcons in North America and wanted to use the shot of Gracie and the Bay Bridge. Rob Palmer and Nick Dunlop are contributing the greatest portion of the photos, all pro-bono for this worthy organization. It will be a great honor to be included in this endeavor. You can check out their website here: http://www.raptorsoftherockies.org/ February 8, 2007 Slowly getting organized, I finally decided to join NANPA, which is short for the North American Nature Photography Association. I'll post more about it on my blog, but if you are interested in visiting their web site, you can do it here. January 29, 2007 Another year, another page added. I've put up a link for 2007 images. There is already a nice sequence of a Cooper's Hawk that has been hanging out in our back yard. I also have started a blog on Wordpress.com. You can see it here. November 26 , 2006 Check out the Cafepress site for the latest in falcon apparel; shirts and sweatshirts are now available. Just added; falcon postage stamps! Also, I have added a parrot calendar, cards, ornaments and mugs. November 11, 2006 The posters of Gracie are gone, taken down on November 11th. August 20, 2006 There are now 4 copies of Gracie on Art Billboards on Market Street. Mark Brest van Kempen contacted me back in June concerning an upcoming public art project and requested the use of a falcon photo for his upcoming Ecology of Market Street to be shown on 24 kiosks located on Market Street between the Embarcadero and Van Ness Blvd. The exhibit will be up till November 11, so if you are downtown, pause and take a look at one of the displays. Gracie shares the show with a Brewer's Blackbird, a Moth, a Wasp, a Norway Rat, and some stunted grass and moss. You can find Gracie at the following locations: California at Market, the next is directly in front of the old Emporium Entrance which will soon open as a Bloomingdale's, the third is at 973 Market between 5th and 6th Streets, and the last one is at Market and 11th Street. The photo was taken on banding day and it printed quite nicely on the posters. Meet the artist and friends for a tour of his six poster designs and a discussion about plant and animal life surviving in an urban environment. Charlene and I plan to be there. Hope you can join us. For those that can't make it. Here are a couple of views of the falcon poster.

August 1 , 2006 Three new pages of photos uploaded in the Raptor Diary '06 page. Enjoy!!! July 30, 2006 The links page has been updated, check it out for links to books, cameras, organizations and another fine photographer. July 11, 2006 I have created a tab of Select Photos. On this new page you will find six images with links to my favorite photos. I have gone through all the pages to find the very best. If you feel I have missed something then write to me and let me know.
June 18, 2006: The web site has been updated with a new look. Price List for prints is now available.
June 14, 2006 Update: There are now 6 cards available at the CafePress.com site. Also I've reloaded the March 23rd page of George defending the nest from the Red Tail Hawk. It was accidentally omitted when the transfer was made to the new domain and URL.June 8, 2006 I have just set up an online store at CafePress.com. Only 2 greeting cards available so far, but you can visit the site and bookmark it for future shopping. Here is the link, note that there is an underbar between raptor and gallery instead of a dash. Dashes were not permitted in store web site addresses. www.cafepress.com/raptor_gallery I will be putting up more images as greeting cards soon. Please be patient. I'll be putting up a price list for archival prints as well. These I will print myself to maintain the best quality. There will also be a page with select images that will print well, and make it easy to find them rather than searching through the diary pages. If you know of a specific image that you want to be included in the select page, let me know I don't want anyone disappointed. Drop me a line at glenn@raptor-gallery.com or my other email address: glennnevill@yahoo.com Regards, Glenn Nevill
