It definitely seems like you can see a Common Muskrat anyplace there is water. Having the opportunity to see a Common Muskrat on land and photograph it was nice. I love the reflection of the Muskrat in the water. Photo… Read More

The fact that there were several birds and they each… Read More

It is fun to watch the Common Tern search the water from overhead. Having opportunities to watch the… Read More

This is literally one of my favorite times of the year for photogrpahy. You can show up to your local park and you never know what you might see. Why is that exactly? It is migration season. Birds who spend the spring and summer in our region are returning to our area. You never really know when they are going to show up. Then there are birds that migrate through our area… Read More
