  • Great Egret Landing with a Fish Story

    Great Egret Landing with a Fish Story

    "Seriously, I had it in my beak for a few seconds, and it was this long! I so wish you could have seen it!"

  • Barred Owl Watching Squirrel

    Barred Owl Watching Squirrel

    This owl was so focused on trying to catch the squirrel taunting it, that it seemed to not care I was there.

  • American Bittern on Point

    American Bittern on Point

    This was the moment before this bittern speared a salamander at Ridgefield NWR. The low evening sun mad the reflections in the water look like liquid gold.

    She was getting her fill of the Salvia nectar on that summer morning.

  • Ring-necked Pheasant

    Ring-necked Pheasant

    To find this grass-dwelling bird on Steigerwald's Gibben's Creek drinking from a log while allowing the still water to reflect its image was special. One of those moments where you think to yourself, "oh, this is going to be good! I hope I got it."

  • Three Bald Eagles

    Three Bald Eagles

    I composited this shot by first photographing the two sitting on the branches, and then sliding the focus over to their approaching friend. I liked the way the middle eagle is looking at the approaching one. This is a throw away without the flying eagle. It makes sense as to the reality of the situation.

  • Hairy Woodpecker

    Hairy Woodpecker

    This was a very active individual. It was taking the moss and lichens off a tree trunk to get at something more tasty. You can see the debris flying, but it managed to hold still enough for this slow and dark photo to be taken.

    Great Blue Heron

    This heron seemed to know exactly where to stand to make the perfect heron, log, and reflective fall background. Thanks, buddy!

    She glided low across the wetland landscape searching for the unwary rodent.
