Pied-billed Grebe
On my last kayak outing, I ran upon a single Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) that was working at finding a fish dinner. As the grebe swam about, often diving for fish, I captured these images: But I never saw him with a fish. The location I had chosen to kayak was one that totally dried […]

Sky Ablazin’
(This post originally published in October 2010) My last kayak outing was a wonderful morning. Not only was I able to capture some nice Wood Duck (Aix sponsas) flight shots, but an incredible sunrise developed right in front of my eyes. First, there was some unexpected fog present as I launched the kayak into the […]
Two Men and A Hen
(This post originally published in October 2010) No frills or long stories for today’s post. Just a photo, taken from my kayak, a couple of years ago at a local, Missouri Conservation Area. This image shows a trio of Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) flying overhead, two males (drakes) and one hen (female). The Wood Duck […]
