Feed Me … Now!

While camping in one of the Maroon Bells (Colorado) campgrounds this summer, I was pleased to frequently see an adult Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) with a fledgling always nearby. Several times, I was able to catch the adult feeding the young warbler with insects and wildflower/grass seeds. Here are a few of my favorite images. […]

Golden Beauty

After Glacier NP, my next stop was a place I really love … I’ve been there several times and I’m never disappointed. The place … Lee Metcalf NWR, in southwest Montana. One of the subjects I was after there was the nesting Osprey, but I’ll save those images for another, upcoming post. Today, I’m featuring […]

Yellow Warblers

During my recent kayak outings, I have seen a few Yellow Warblers (Dendroica petechia), although not as many as I expected. Don’t know if their numbers are down, or if I’m just not seeing them.  After all, they are quite small and tend to stay higher in the treetops than a lot of the warblers. […]

Wanted … Dead or Alive!

Insects, that is. Yesterday morning, I headed back out to photograph the Eastern bluebirds at the local prairie. Things there were very slow, however, so I decided to check out a nearby lake. This lake used to be one of my favorite kayak locations, but last year the Missouri Conservation Department decided to drain the […]
