The adventure to Maryland’s Eastern Shore brought more than just the plentiful ducks at Oakley Street in Cambridge, Maryland but also a lovely variety of ducks on the remote and quiet Hooper’s Island. Ducks that I usually find at Ocean City Inlet were enjoying the waters along the […]
For those that have been following me, you know I’ve been driving all over the state of Maryland this winter in search of ducks. The earlier unseasonably warm winter season held back the duck migration and the waters have been empty of ducks. At long last, on Thursday […]
It’s hard to believe that just five days ago we had a snowstorm that left over three inches of snow on the ground. Heavy rain the next day washed it away, and Old Man Winter has set in with his cold temperatures. I’m starting to love those storms […]

A big change from what the scene looked just a day ago. The Garden Bird Photography Studio is now well under two feet of snow and the manor is snowed in. No way to get in or out. It’ll be a hard working day tomorrow, but in the […]
