This is My Best Side
Having a bit of fun with birds. They love to turn their backs towards you to taunt you. Silly birds.
Ruffed Grouse
It’s been such a busy two weeks and it’s good to be back to share some of my adventures. Each year I travel to Shenandoah National Park with the Mountain Club of Maryland. Our true destination is to hike up Old Rag Mountain. An arduous nine-mile hike that […]
Basking in the Moon Light

It’s Hot Out There
Can’t tell you how much I want to fly out of here. It’s hot-hot-hot. Hot like Florida hot. The heat wave is here and looks like it’ll stay awhile. Now to find an ice bucket to cool off in.
And Then There Was One
This year has been a successful season for Zorro and Esperanza, the Osprey pair that have made the upper Magothy River their home. Those that have been following me are familiar with the tale of this lovely couple and how last year man intervened and destroyed their nesting […]
