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..

Foggy Beginnings
During my last kayak outing, I was blessed to have some dense fog around me for the first hour on the water. While I was paddling the area, I noticed a Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) darting between the heavy aquatic foliage, followed by her 2 ducklings: If you follow my blog, you know that […]

Located along the Mississippi flyway, we see many different species of ducks/geese during the spring and fall migrations. Over the past 2 days, I […]

Fun Friday: Wood Ducklings
When reviewing my 2012 images for a fun image for today’s “Fun Friday” post, I found this image of a pair of Wood Duckling (Aix sponsa) that I made from a kayak back in May … in fact, this was one of my last kayak adventures at this area this year, as the drought eventually […]

The Woodies Are Here!
Yesterday’s kayak outing was very rewarding. Several new birds were seen, including some First Of Year (FOY) for me! Today’s post is about the Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa), or as us Missouri hillbillies call them, “Woodies”. These have to be one of the most colorful ducks in nature! I have been seeing the Woodies in the […]
