Fun Friday: ‘Bottoms Up!’
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day yesterday! I spent the last couple of days at one of my favorite locations in Missouri to photograph nature … the Loess Bluffs NWR (formerly called Squaw Creek NWR) … most of the time I still refer to this wonderful location as Squaw Creek. Today’s “Fun Friday” post […]
Trumpeter Swans in Picturesque Alaska
(This post originally published in December 2010) I recently had a comment from someone on Twitter about seeing Trumpeter Swans a few years ago, in snowy/icy conditions.

Minnesota’s Trumpeter Swans (Re-post)
(This post originally published in August 2010) My last day shooting on my recent Minnesota trip turned out to be one of my best. I had been hoping for some Trumpeter Swans (Cygnus buccinator), but up until now had not seen any. I decided to try a local wildlife conservation area, the Carlos Avery Wildlife […]

Continuing from yesterday’s post on the Trumpeter Swans, there is nothing more beautiful than seeing them make a flyby, especially close-up, when coming in to join a group of feeding/resting swans that are in a refuge pool, right in front of us! Everyone’s here … let the meeting begin! […]
