What’s Up?

On the flight from Helsinki to JFK I watched three movies. The first was “Patriots Day.” It dealt with the Boston Marathon bombing, the capture of the perpetrators, and Boston Strong. It was good and moving if a bit contrived. I cried a lot especially at the end. The second was “Live By […]

After my 23-hour door to door trip home from Oulu, Finland on Wednesday, I was home just after midnight. I endured two four-hour layovers. I did not sleep a wink on the 8-hour flight from Helsinki to JFK but slept like a rock for two hours on the flight to Orlando. I managed […]

Well, we made it to Oulu and learned quickly that with the late spring, everything frozen, north winds, and even colder weather predicted that there are very few Ruffs in town and that the chances of photographing them on the lek before we leave are somewhere between slim and none.

A visit to chiropractor TJ McKeon in town on Thursday afternoon had my shoulder feeling well enough for a swim on FRI. I’ve been getting down to the lake most mornings and will spend SAT and SUN packing for Finland. I did finish my micro-adjust session on Friday, learned a ton, worked on […]

The 2017 DeSoto IPT was fabulous with lots of birds and learning and all happy clients. The birds were a bit sparse at the start on the Sunday Morning DeSoto Meet-up but we wound up with two cooperative Great Blue Herons, some copulating Laughing Gulls, and tons of learning on the subjects of […]

What’s Up?

The DeSoto IPT is going great guns. We have enjoyed great weather and great birds and great lunches at a nearby Applebees. Our ridiculously cooperative subjects have included Great Blue Heron, Reddish Egret, White Ibis, Roseate Spoonbill, Royal and Sandwich Terns, Laughing and Ring-billed Gulls, and dozens of tame shorebirds including Marbled Godwit, […]

Big BAA Blog News

For the next few weeks, my plan is to publish a new, educational blog post every other day or thereabouts so that I will have some time to finish up two important projects that have been on the back burner for too, too long: the BAA Current Workflow Guide and the […]

They have been great friends since 5th grade. Ray is the sole staff photographer for Kansas State University. He does events, staff, sports, and the graduation photos. In short he […]
