Could it be possible that I can find Bald Eagles closer to home away from Conowingo Dam? Well, with great thanks to fellow bird photographer and blogger Hugh Vandervoort with His Birding Photos secret intel was shared about a small group of bald eagles near Annapolis. Heading out […]
The sun rather confused me on Sanibel Island, Florida. Visiting in early December, the sun is rather south in the horizon. Due to the positioning of the island, one can see both sunrise and sunset at the same place. While the mornings are overcast, the clouds clear up […]

I landed early at Conowingo Dam this morning. With several Feathered Friends in tow, we hoped to capture some exciting bald eagle action along the water. By 7:30am, the parking lot was nearly full and the wildlife paparazzi were lined up along the fence line with their expensive […]
