Hi Maeve.  Please, please, please feel free to use any / as many of my

photos as you'd like.  It would be my pleasure and make me proud.  You'll

see that I have shots of tons of raptors and owls ... all the ones you

listed in your email ... + more.  Here's a link to my online flicker

'birds' (aka "Natural Beauty") album ... you can easily download them

directly from flick:

Best regards,  Joe DeMarte
