Day Trippin’ with a Swan Family
Today’s post features a Trumpeter Swan family that I captured in central Minnesota a few years ago. You can see that the parent swan at the rear of the chain is wearing a neck tag, which gives location info as to where it was caught and tagged. Canon 1D Mark 3 camera body + Canon […]
Magee’s “Big Birds”

Here are some of my favorite […]
