What’s Up?
I headed down to the lake early on Sunday morning hoping to find the new crane family coming off the nest in the South Marsh. I arrived 15 minutes before sunrise, only to find the family of four feeding right where they have been for the past ten days. Needless to say, I […]
What’s Up?
Saturday morning turned out a lot better than the weather forecast. It dawned sunny with a good breeze from the north that turned northeast before swinging to the northwest at about 9am. I found the baby cranes foraging with and getting fed by the adults in the same spot they have been every […]

What’s Up?
I enjoyed an amazing session with the two baby cranes down by the lake at ILE on Wednesday morning. The fog lifted quickly to reveal clear skies. With some moisture in the air, the light was gorgeous. I found the chicks right were I had left them two days before. They are more […]
This Just In!
Just got back from an amazing session down by the lake at ILE (I created 468 images in a less than 45-minute session!). It is now 8:50am. Despite the “partly cloudy” weather forecast the fog lifted quickly to reveal clear skies. With some moisture in the air, the light was gorgeous. I […]
Whats Up?
On Monday morning, I was thrilled to find the two new crane chicks feeding alongside the parents in the exact same spot as they had been the day before. Again, they were quite accepting of my presence. Because of the dense fog, I opted to work with the 600mm f/4 GM lens and […]

As Jim drove away from Stick Marsh last Wednesday — we were headed back to ILE, I was overcome with a feeling of euphoria. I had […]
What’s Up?
Yesterday, Vaughn Larsen and I had yet another great morning at Stick Marsh. Vaughn, visiting from Colorado, worked with his R5/RF 100-500 rig. To say that he learned a ton about his R5 would be a huge understatement. More on that in tomorrow’s blog post.
Monday’s post will reveal a major problem that […]
What’s Up?
Stick Marsh continues to consistently provide some of the very best photographic opportunities I have ever come across in my almost 38 years of bird photography. I screwed up yesterday by switching back and forth from the 200-600 G lens to the 600 GM (with a TC) and back again. Eery time I […]

All are invited to leave a comment and let us know which of today’s three featured Canon R5 images is their favorite, along with the reason they made their choice. It is very clear that for Canon shooters, the RF is the best overall body when it comes to creating sharp images of […]
What’s Up?
Joe Usewicz and I absolutely killed at Stick Marsh on Wednesday. The action was so good that we did not head home until 1:00pm!
Are You in Florida and Free on Thursday (and/or Friday) Morning?

What’s Up
My hard work is in the process of being well-rewarded as we sold lots of BAA EOS R5 Camera User’s e-Guides on Tuesday. If you missed the announcement of the publication of this amazing guide, see yesterday’s blog post here.
If you paid $25.00 for the R5/R6 AF Guide, you are entitled […]

I am thrilled that the BIRDS AS ART Canon EOS R5 Camera User’s e-Guide is now finished. Whew! Tomorrow, we will be sending out the link to the final PDF (and the link to the video) to all who have purchased the guide or earned a free or discounted copy by using a […]

What’s Up?
Bill Schneider and I finished up his two days of private instruction in spectacular fashion at Stick Marsh on Saturday morning. We had dozens of spoonbills flying right at us and flaring to land. I was headed home before 10:00am. I will be sharing some of Bill’s images with you here in Monday’s […]
What’s Up?
Bill and I had maybe the worst morning ever at Merritt Island NWR. Sunrise was a dud. After that, the clear skies and wind against sun conditions were bad as expected. We did have a few good chances, but each of the birds flew away. 🙁 We reviewed many hundreds of Bill’s images […]
What’s Up?
After a somewhat blah sunrise on Thursday, the last morning of the Merritt Island IPT, we were looking at getting back very early. The only thing that can save us, I said, is a feeding spree near the tour road with the birds on our left and the sun on our right. Donna […]
This Just In!
I am hitting publish on this blog post at an unusually late 1:18pm. We had yet about great morning so I have been very busy. 🙂 As always. Right now it is nap time!
