I haven’t had the opportunity to photograph Hooded Mergansers as often as I would like. The Hooded Merganser is a cool bird with an interesting hood of feathers atop its head visible in different ways in both male and female birds. While out walking along one of the Finger Lakes in New York I spotted a small flock of Hooded Mergansers. This small flock of Hooded Mergansers swam around near the lake… Read More

I love photographing birds in flight. However, it isn’t very often I am able to capture beautiful scenery in the background as well. Often it is a bird against a blue sky. Common Mergansers do spend some time at one of our local parks. While the Common Mergansers often spend most of their time swimming and diving in the lake there occasionally they do take flight. Luckily the way it usually works… Read More

Killdeer have always been a challenging shorebird for me to photograph. They are small. Always in motion a Killdeer is. Killdeer run around the shoreline at a pretty good pace compared to other shorebirds. And Killdeer take off and fly frequently. Not always moving far off but just enough movement to make me miss a shot. Killdeer are always alert. There is no sneaking up on a Killdeer. Killdeer also have loud… Read More

When I have traveled to Maine the first thing I think about has not been photographing birds. Finding this Glossy Ibis was completely unexpected. I never thought of Maine as a bird watching location where I would find large shorebirds and I was pleasantly surprised to see the Glossy Ibis… Read More

I usually have a standing rule. No races in the winter. It’s not that I don’t run in the winter I just like to choose the conditions in which I run instead of running in whatever winter throws at me on race day. The one winter race I remember signing up for prior to this year, the weather ended up being so bad that our whole group that was planning to go… Read More

I really enjoy photographing Great Blue Heron. Great Blue Heron are one of the species of birds that I have the most photographs of. I have over 3,000 photographs of Great Blue Heron. Great Blue Heron are great photography subjects for so many reasons. For one thing they are large birds so they can easily be photographed from a long way away. You can’t always get close and you don’t always have… Read More

One of my favorite things to do with photography has been to photograph animals at the zoo. It is a great way to practice and learn photography. There are also opportunities to photograph animal you will never see in the wild. Often if a zoo houses birds there will be an aviary which is nice because then you can be indoors in a controlled environment. I was able to photograph this Boat… Read More

This creates a lot of opportunities for learning and development. When working with Ring-Billed Gulls there… Read More
