Featured Information
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..

The Elegant Egret
Today’s post features some of the beautiful Great Egrets (Ardea alba) that I photographed at the Venice Rookery, in Venice, Florida recently. At this time of year, the beautifully white egrets are in great breeding plumage, which includes some nice, long plumes of feathers on the back, and brilliant lime-green “lores”, the patch of skin […]
