A Bang-Up Good Time!

By Jim | Published July 7, 2020

Today’s post features some of this year’s July 04th fireworks that I captured over out lakeside home at the Lake of the Ozarks, in south-central Missouri.

The Cleanup Crew

By Jim | Published June 3, 2020

Today’s post features what I call “the dirty, cleanup bird” … the Black Vulture. Vultures are very interesting birds. They are one of our best “cleanup” birds, constantly scavenging road kill.

While photographing an active Great Blue Heron nest, I was shooting lots and lots of images, hoping to capture “that special moment”.
