One photo a day challenge: Day 126. I most frequently do my birding from home. But today I wanted to make a concerted efort to go out birding someplace other than at my hosue. I wanted to go out and hopefully see some of the birds I am seeign people reporting. I decided to visit one of our beautiful local parks, Sperr Memorial Park. This is not only a beautiful park, but… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 122. Today we spent the day bird watching at one of my places to go visit. We went to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge sits at the northern end of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. As we left in the morning it was bright and sunny. But as we arrived at Montezuma the clouds had settled in and it was… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 116. Today I stopped by one of two local Osprey nests located on the Chemung River in Elmira, New York. The Osprey have been back in the area for a little while now with the return of spring. I keep hearing reports of them being on their nests. However, I have not yet made my way to see them this spring. I decided today was a… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 114. Today was a pretty cool day of photography. Not because I created any particularly nice images. But because today I lead my first Photography Walkabout Class with 171 Cedar Arts. Today we were at Spencer Crest Nature Center. We focused on photographing birds. And we were fortunate to see a lot of those birds. We saw Canada Geese swimming on the pond. There were tree… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 112. The last two times I was at Eldridge Park there were lots of great birds there. Birds that I had been looking for the past three weekends. Birds that I would really like to photograph. However, during he last two visits I was not there for photography and I did not have my camera. Since I had been seeing good bird activity I wanted to… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 110. I worked all day at my day job today. Then in the evening I was teaching a photography class at 171 Cedar Arts. In between I wanted to step outside our house and photograph the birds I had heard chirping all morning. The birds were busy outside pillaging our bird feeders. I figured it would be a good day to pop outside and watch them… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 107. Today I was down at our local park, Eldridge Park, hoping to see some migratory birds. Each year I see some migratory birds stop over here on their way farther north. This year, however, I did not see many of the ones I was hoping to. One fun thing that can happen is even if you don’t see what you were hoping for, you can… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 100. I spent this morning at one of our local parks hoping to photograph migratory birds that tend to show up around this time of year each year. Unfortunately, the migratory birds did not make an appearance today. Hopefully I will see them soon. So, no migratory bird photos or observations. But a day outside enjoying some fresh air, nature, and watching some birds is still… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 93: Today I spent some time at one of our local parks looking for migratory birds to photograph. It is the time of year migratory birds start arriving in and moving through our area in New York. There is a local park right in my home town with a small lake that seems to be a regular stop over for many birds migrating up farther north…. Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 86. Today was another great day to sit outside at home and watch the birds in the evening. Recently I noticed the arrival of Eastern Bluebirds to our yard. The Eastern Bluebirds have been checking out the Purple Martin house in our yard as they search for a nest site. The martin house usually ends up occupied by Tree Swallows, but some day I hope to… Read More
