Posted on July 25, 2024
One of my favorite subjects to photograph are Bald Eagles. I have found them in a variety of locations, even a nesting pair in a Shop Rite Parking lot. But my Favorite place for photographing Bald Eagles is the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. Many times you see them just hanging out along the Wildlife Drive and they do not seem to be bothered by your presence as long as you do not get too close, so I use a Canon 400mm with a 2X teleconverter or a 150-600mm lens with or without Teleconverters.

Cape May Warbler
Posted on March 31, 2024
We had an unusual visitor to our bird feeders for a couple of days. It was fun to see this Cape May Warbler coming to the feeders. The warbler only was here this one day, but was fun to see a different bird instead of the usual birds at the feeders.

Reddish Egrets At J.N. Ding Darling NWR
Posted on December 18, 2022
I am going through my Hard Drives cleaning up & removing images I do not need. But as I am cleaning up disk space I am finding images that I could use on the blog. These 2 Reddish Egret images were from a visit to J.N. Ding Darling years ago. The Featured Image was taken with a Canon 1D mkIV with a Canon 400mm DO lens @ f/4.5, 1/250 sec. The Courting Dance was interesting to watch and went on for about 1/2 hour.

Great Blue Skimmer Dragonflies
Posted on August 5, 2022
A series of Great Blue Skimmer Dragonfly images taken with a Canon 300mm lens on a Canon R. Most images shot with a 1.4x Teleconverter @ f/5.6 or f/6.3 to get smoother looking backgrounds. On the image of the Male Great Blue Skimmer I wanted more detail on all the wing damage so I stopped down to f/16 and used a 2X Teleconverter.
