Which is the stronger of today\u2019s two featured images? All are invited to leave a comment and explain why they made their choice. I have a very clear favorite. <\/p>\n
On Monday morning, I checked on the two-egg crane nest in the North Marsh and was pleased to see the female sitting peacefully on her eggs. Next, I spent five good minutes in the sun with the crane family. When they headed back into the marsh, I headed home. Most of the day was spent working on my programs for the 2022 GNPA EXPO.<\/a> I did my bursts, did my swim, and ate two healthy meals, the latter a far cry from the past weekend … It feels good to be back on the wagon. Monday evening was yet another busted sunset. <\/p>\n Today is Tuesday 15 March 2022. The forecast is calling for cloudy skies and an east\/northeast breeze. I will head down to the lake early for a look-see. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope that you too had a great day. This blog post took about 90 minutes to prepare and makes six days in a row with a new one. <\/p>\n Please remember to use the B&H and Amazon links on most blog pages and to use the BIRDSASART discount code at checkout when purchasing your new gear from Bedfords. And please consider joining a BAA IPT<\/a>. You will be amazed at how much you will learn …<\/p>\n Two hours of intensive instruction: $200.00 (Add $100.00 if we are blessed with very small chicks). Add a working brunch with image review: $100.00. Sunny mornings with east winds are best. Likely subjects include ridiculously tame Sandhill Cranes and colts, a young Bald Eagle in the nest, Black and Turkey Vultures, Crested Caracara, Limpkin, Great Egret, Great Blue Heron, and more. Small crane chicks will hopefully be coming soon.<\/p>\n If you’d like to join me, please get in touch via e-mail<\/a> or try me on my cell at 863-221-2372.

You can read the whole story here<\/a>. <\/p>\n Again artie, that was a great trip. I was more than pleased. For me, I could see right away that you knew how to get us and the boat in great position for the best eagle photography. You took into consideration all the factors including the sky conditions, and wind and sun angles. It was a real pleasure to meet the captain. His knowledge of the wind and the currents helped to put us in great position all the time and he did his very best to help on all fronts. <\/p>\n One of the most important factors for me is timeliness. We never had to wait on the captain or on you, artie, and that made the trip a huge success. We got after it every day and had countless great photography opportunities. The other eagle photography tours never got out as early as we did, nor did they pursue the birds as relentlessly as we did. <\/p>\n One can never say that Arthur Morris doesn’t have the passion to get after the Bald Eagles. I have never shot as many photos as I did on this trip even with my poor hand eye coordination. I got plenty of keepers and enjoyed meeting the others in the group and learned a few things from them as well. <\/p>\n Thanks again, Kevin<\/em><\/p>\n March 2022 Indian Lake Estates In-the-Field Sessions<\/h3>\n
