I don’t know if it’s really possible to truly appreciate these birds without seeing them outside in the wild. Growing up I loved seeing them in zoos, and I’ve been very close to them at bird rehabilitation centers where I’ve been able to get a sense of just how large these birds are. But these […]

Runner-up
I don’t know what American grade school kids are being taught these days – I left Oakville Elementary a couple of decades ago (Okay, fine—several decades ago) and since I haven’t had kids of my own I don’t have access to 21st century homework assignments. But I’ll go out on a limb here and bet […]

The Eagles of Maryland
First off, I am sorry for my long absence, business has gone through the roof lately, and there is little time to catch up with all of these projects. Early am November 6th, 2012 my group head south in a rental car to the Conowingo Dam, MD. We travel all night, and arrive at the […]

Emily’s Pose
Emily, our resident Bald Eagle, visits our camp in Maine nearly every day. I’m always jumping into my kayak with my Canon 7D and 300/2.8 lens to get as close a possible. It seems as though she’s getting comfortable with me now as this shot was taken from 25.5 meters away. I hope you like […]

Grand Teton National Park
I’ve been lucky enough to visit many beautiful places in my life. If I had to pick a favorite for sheer awesome beauty, it would be Grand Teton National Park. The vistas in this park are simply amazing and it is hard not to take post card worthy pictures in every direction. Rather than type […]

Lift Off
This beautiful Bald Eagle is a frequent visitor to our camp on Parks Pond in Maine. This morning she (we named her Emily) landed in perfect view with the sun in her face. Took this shot with my Canon 7D, 300/2.8 at ISO 200. I was excited to see the moment of capture during upload. […]

The Jewel Of Florida
We are very fortunate in Floridato have many places where the beauty of nature all seem to come together.The Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands at Viera, though, or The Viera Wetlands, as the locals call it,is my favorite, and the favorite of many nature photographers. It is a water reclamation area with wonderful surrounds and attracts […]

And The Action Continues!!
Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge is now full of ducks (northern shovelers,pintails,american wigeons and blue winged teals), roseate spoonbills, kingfishers, and the like. The trick is getting them in the right light. Black Point Drive seemed to have most of the action this past weekend. The early morning or late afternoon light is so much better! […]
