The past couple of days have been a bit crazy, but today certainly made up for it. Meeting with two girlfriends, we headed out to the eastern shore of Maryland, all for a Lark. The temperature gauge on the car read 3 degrees when we were nearing our […]
This morning was my first official meetup group with my Feathered Friends Photography Meetup. One brave soul decided to come out, wind, sleet or snow. He had voiced an interest in locating Tundra Swans, and this is one bird I knew where to find a large flock. The […]
It was a feeding frenzy in the garden today. Seems the holly berries are finally perfectly ripe. The Cedar Waxwings have been watching the bushes for several weeks now and began hitting the bush hard today. Along with Robins and Bluebirds and one solitary Hermit Thrush. Popular was […]
On Martin Luther King Day, I woke up at 4:00am for a drive out to the beach. Wanting to arrive for dawn, I shot the beach the lazy way. Handheld and high ISO’s. I then quickly changed my lens to the beast – the 500mm L, in hopes […]

It’s been a crazy busy day today, and it looks like the temperatures will warm up in the next few days. The river is still frozen over with the freezing temperatures we’ve had this week. There is a family of Canadian Geese that come up to the […]
Hadn’t planned on birding today, but the light was hitting the water fountain perfectly this morning and stopped me in my tracks. That lead to many great discoveries of the day. First, noticed this Cooper’s hawk in the tree. I phished at him so he’d look at me. […]
