What’s Up? It was chilly and beyond breezy on Thursday morning. Despite the 20mph NW wind, I had fun and made a few good images. Many dozens of Great Egrets were flying from south to north past the pier, so I took a walk with the handheld 600 f/4, the 1.4X TC, and an a1. […] Which is Your Favorite Warren Hatch Image? Why? What’s Up? Early on Wednesday I was working hard on the final edit of Warren Hatch’s Z9 guide, so I did not get down to the lake until 7:45am. I was home to get back to work by 8:15! In about twenty minutes of photography with a […] What’s Up? Jim and I left early on Tuesday morning for Stick Marsh and arrived at 6:15am. The forecast NE wind was replaced by a west wind. With clear skies, that is the kiss of death for bird photography. But it did not matter. I only saw four spoonbills, a few Anhingas, and a single […] What’s Up?

Lots of spoonbills flew in for sticks in the predawn on Thursday morning, my second with Anar. After a gorgeous, fog-muted sunrise, the barely perceptible breeze from the southwest was not our friend as the spoonies were landing to our left and away from us. We moved to what turned out to be […] What’s Up? It was foggy and still when I woke on Wednesday. Remarkably, I opted to stay in and get some work done. That after 12 days in a row with at least one photo session. I did my bursts and swam my half-mile in the afternoon. Today is Thursday 5 May 2022. I […] Your Favorite Image?

I saw the large sandhill colts and the baby crane with their respective parents. The young eagle was in the nest tree with one of the adults. I created a foggy Osprey silhouette from my SUV with the big lens on the BLUBB. […] Your Favorite Image? Which of today’s two featured images do you like best?

I headed for the West Coast of Florida and the DeSoto IPT just after 1:30pm on Monday. I had called the four folks on the IPT and invited them to a get-together session at the rookery in North Tampa, FL. The two first-timers were able to make it, so we had a good […] What’s Up? I created 1352 images on Sunday morning in a bit more than an hour. On Saturday, an adult crane stood in the same spot for more than an hour and preened. On Sunday morning, it was in the same spot.
