One of the many expeditions around the world that I would like to do was to travel to Southwest Florida and visit the Burrowing Owls of Cape Coral. I had heard of these darling little owls that live in holes throughout the town. Acting as mascots or perhaps […]
It’s a new scene for me this week as I’m visiting Naples, Florida for a business/pleasure trip. After having to spend an hour or more driving in the dark to arrive to where I want to photograph wildlife, I must admit. Being able to roll out of bed […]
A Black-bellied Plover and I. Alone on the cooling sands of the beach. Curious of one another. Looking and wondering What is it that you’re doing? Shall we stay awhile and watch together as the sun gently sinks below the horizon?
One of the best places on the east coast of the United States for bird photography is the Wild Bird Rookery at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in Florida. Click on the video above and enjoy some of the incredible sights and sounds of the bird rookery. Hopefully […]

This week I had a short, but long driving trip to St. Augustine Beach, Florida. One of my favorite cities in the world, ranking with Paris and Rio de Janeiro, the powder soft sand and the historical district has so much charm and beauty. While it was mostly […]
A Willet, walking alone along the sandy surf. His feathers buffy and soft. With an elegant step he moves along the water line. A ghost crab, a minnow, either will do.
Some of my favorite birds to watch are in the Heron and Egret family. With their elegant long necks, they are fascinating to watch as they use such stealth while they fish. As a fishing bird, they are quite skittish. They have the eye of an eagle, and […]
