Fun Friday: Looking For a Meal

By Jim | Published June 9, 2017




A couple of days ago, I decided to take Rubber Ducky (my kayak) out for a sunrise paddle at a nearby Missouri Conservation Department waterway.  It was a wonderful morning … nice and cool, very little wind, a gorgeous sunrise, and a host of hospitable creatures. One of the colorful inhabitants I found was a […]

Prothonotary Warblers

By Jim | Published May 24, 2016




Yesterday’s post featured the Yellow Warbler during my recent kayak outing. Today’s post features the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea), also captured during that outing. Both of these species of warblers are abundant and active right now. I also heard a couple of Common Yellowthroats while kayaking, but could not find them in the dense undergrowth […]

Back in the Saddle, Again

By Jim | Published May 12, 2016




Last week, I finally got out in the kayak again. It had been 2 years since my last kayak outing (due to my head surgery and extended recovery last year), so I was anxious to get back on the water. We found lots of warblers around the water. Today’s post features a few of the […]

By Jim | Published April 30, 2013

And I refer to them as the “P” warblers as that is much easier to say … and write. :o) As I kayaked yesterday, I had dozens of these beauties around the banks of the waterway […]

Why Do I Like Photographing from a Kayak?

By Jim | Published May 4, 2011




Today’s post is another post with the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonaria citrea). I was planning on posting a different species of warbler images today, but I had such a good day in the kayak yesterday with a Prothonotary Warbler, that I wanted to share this wonderful experience with you. Yesterday’s kayak trip was exceptional:  bunches of Prothonotary and Yellow-rumped Warblers, several Yellow […]

Prothonotary Warblers

By Jim | Published May 2, 2011




During my last few kayak outings, the Prothonotary Warblers (Protonotaria citrea) have been very busy. So far, I have only seen the males. But they have been busy setting up territories and fighting off other males who happen into their space. I really love these colorful little harbingers of spring, with their cheerful songs and colorful […]
