Fun Friday: Hijacked!

By Jim | Published March 12, 2021

This sequence was captured a few years ago as wintering bald eagles were fishing in the Mississippi River, near LeClaire, Iowa. Here’s the scenario … An immature Bald Eagle spots a fish in the […]

Fun Friday: Live Eagle Totem

By Jim | Published February 26, 2021

Today’s “Fun Friday” post comes from the “Valley of Eagles”, in Alaska’s Chilkat River Valley, in 2008. This image is a good example of how the wintering bald eagles “can” get along with each other. When not busy getting food, they are often, pretty communal birds, roosting together in trees overnight. But when the morning […]

Fun Friday: Bad Hair Day

By Jim | Published February 12, 2021

Today’s post features an interesting sight I captured in Rocky Mountain NP (Colorado) in 2008. During the fall rut, I was busy photographing the behaviors of the Elk. This bull elk, hormones raging, had just “plowed” up the ground as he was trying to impress some nearby cow elk: Strange, erratic, and even dangerous/unexpected behavior […]

“I See You!”

Towards the end of each calendar year, there is a late salmon run in the Chilkat River Valley, just outside Haines, Alaska. Nothing but wonderful photography opportunities at this time! Here is […]

Fun Friday: BC’s ‘Mobile Home’

By Jim | Published February 5, 2021

Today’s “Fun Friday” post features an interesting sight we ran across, during a 2008 Orca Whale adventure along the BC coastline. A tug was pulling a barge with a home resting on a large, flat-bed truck on it. Gives a new meaning to “mobile home”, doesn’t it? Hmmmm, wondering if this comes furnished?   Photographic […]
