Featured Information
Due to my recent move to the Lake of the Ozarks, along with the Covid issues, I am currently not teaching group classes. However, I am available for private individual or very small group, in-the-field teaching, where we can safely learn more about our cameras and our photographic techniques..

Tending to the Youngsters
Today’s post features some images I captured over the weekend. The Eastern Bluebird, Missouri’s state bird, is a beautiful bird to watch and photograph. During their nesting season (often up to 3 clutches per season) a lot of opportunities exist to photograph this gem. Here are a few of the images I’ve edited so far […]

The “F” Bird
Today’s post features some more images captured in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez … the Magnificent Frigatebird. With it’s normal northern range limited to the very southern U.S. and northern Mexico coasts and islands, this was a “lifer” for me. As we sailed the Sea of Cortez, we would occasionally see one or more of these […]

Food Fight at the Dam
Today’s post features some fresh images of wintering Bald Eagles that I captured last Friday, here at the Lake of the Ozarks. During the winter months, bald eagles from Canada and the northern United States often winter in our area, particularly around Bagnell Dam at the Lake. Last Friday the weather was frigid cold (single […]
“Low Altitude Flight”
Today’s post features a few more previously unpublished images of wintering Bald Eagles along the Mississippi River, near Davenport, Iowa. While photographing the eagles fishing in the river, the eagles sometimes fly low over the banks of the river, offering the great joy of capturing images of them low and close to where I was […]

Fun Friday: Can U C Me Now?
The image from today’s post comes from a visit I had a few years ago to the Venice bird rookery, in Venice, Florida. As you can see, many birds call this rookery home, overnight: Many different species in this single image … primarily, White Ibis are present, but you can also see Great Blue Herons, […]

Framed in Red
Today’s post features a pair of nesting Great Egrets, in brilliant breeding plumage, that I captured a few years ago at the Venice Rookery, in Venice, Florida. The red-berried plant is a Brazilian Pepper. Although quite photogenic, it’s roots are many and can extend for long distances to drink up water, making it an unwanted, […]
