photoartflightFox on Ice
Posted on December 19, 2016
This was shot at the Edwin B. Forsythe NWR in Oceanville, NJ. The fox was very far out on the ice, so it is not a great shot. But I thought it was interesting to see a fox out on the ice wandering around the Canada Geese. I did not see it go after any of the Geese, so not sure what it was looking for.
Great Egret Landing
Posted on December 8, 2016
I was going through images from earlier in the year and found some that I forgot I had. Great Egrets are fun to photograph, especially on landing. You can get some interesting wing and leg positions as they flare for a landing. You just have to be careful in exposing for the whites, especially in bright sunlight.
More Eagle Photos From Blackwater NWR

I saw this Bald Eagle carrying it’s meal, a partially eaten bird, flying into a tree. As I was trying to get a few shots of it in the tree, a vulture swooped in to try to get some of the meal. The Eagle flew off across from where I was so I got a few shots as it flew by.
Smiling Blue Dasher
Posted on August 6, 2016
This Blue Dasher Dragonfly is not actually smiling, but it looked like it to me with the face markings and head-on shot. Multi-shot image stacked photo for more depth of field/focus It helped that it did not move during the exposures. 400mm f/4 DO lens, extension tube, Canon 1.4X Series III teleconverter, shorter extension tube, Camera body with flash and better beamer flash extender.
