Spending time at the lake takes a little pressure off the confines of quarantine from CoVid-19. In addition to all of the deer, muskrats, and ground hogs walking through our property, there are many shore birds calling the area around the lake their home. The Sand hill Cranes seem to arrive on the lake about […]
Parent and Child
I seem to be captivated by Sand Hill Cranes recently. We have several pairs near our home in Michigan. Usually early morning and late afternoon to the evening is when they return to the lake for respite. Previously I posted some images of the cranes as they nested near the shore. We did not see […]
Early Morning Visit
I woke up early yesterday morning and noticed a visitor outside the house feeding on the vegetation along the side of our property. I grabbed my camera and went out the opposite side of the house. I moved slowly along the front approaching the corner thinking I was in stealth mode. I raised my camera […]
Swan Lake
Spending time at the lake this week and were surprised with the arrival of two swans. It was late yesterday morning and the sun was high in the sky. Photographing these beauties would definitely be a challenge. But patience ruled the day. A late afternoon pontoon ride located the swans on the western side of […]
Lake Life
Although its been a while since my last post, getting out and photographing during a pandemic can be quite a challenge. I really enjoy photographing Sand Hill Cranes. I have been to New Mexico several times working in and around Bosque Del Apache Wildlife Refuge where the Cranes migrate during the colder months. Recently, most […]
Early Morning
Typically, we would be in the middle of the “Biggest Week.” I am talking about the International Migratory Bird festival held each year in Ottawa County here in Northwest Ohio. Since these are not typical times, the festival has been cancelled and the Magee Marsh boardwalk and surrounding areas are closed due to COVID-19. Fortunately, […]
Mallard on Cub Lake
As the warmer weather arrived for a brief period this past month, we were able to get out on the lake for a little fun and photography. Our lake has many shore birds and waterfowl. In addition to Sandhill Cranes, Great Blue Herons, and Osprey, we have our share of geese and ducks. I thought […]
Bear Country
Another day of wintery mix here in Northwest Ohio. Working on updates to software as well as new additions to my website. Looking back over some of my images from the past. With new software bringing new and exciting ways to post process your RAW images, it gives me a chance to revisit some of […]
Winter Mix
According to the local Meteorologists, we are experiencing a winter mix here in northwest Ohio. What that means to those of you in our southern states is that the weather is constantly changing from snow to sleet to ice and rain. Not necessarily in that order. So, office time while waiting for the NFL playoffs […]
White Ibis
Here is an image from my last trip to south Florida. Shark Valley, along alligator alley, is a great place for bird photography. I captured this White Ibis along the trail through the valley. He spent a good time resting in the trees and gave me a great opportunity to capture some fantastic images. I’m […]
