A Royal Tern slices through the air near Ocean City, MD Well, I seem to be taking one of my periodic (frequent?), unplanned absences from the blogosphere, so here, at least, is something new to look at for a while. I went down to Ocean City, Maryland, the other evening with Kevin Fleming to photograph [...]

Atlantic Puffins at (Machias) Seal Island You don’t need a fancy camera to take a puffin photo like this one–you just need to be in the right spot. I took the above shot with a compact, point & shoot stye camera. And you can, too, if you want. Or you can just enjoy one of [...]

Male Wilson’s Warbler, San Mateo County, CA Here’s a shot I would describe as a likable miss. It’s not very sharp (light was incredibly low, requiring slow shutter speeds) and there’s too much obstructing vegetation.

Hello out there! I’m checking in, as it has been 2+ weeks since my last post. In the meantime, I’ve been madly working away on a photography project that has taken me to four states, including Oregon–a lifer for me and the 49th U.S. state in which I have set foot. On top of that, [...]

Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Redden State Forest 27 May 2009 I think I may have missed the boat here. Looks like the traditional gift for 3rd anniversaries is, um, leather… Oh well. We went out taking pictures of birds (and bees!) instead. It was not the most romantic anniversary ever, but it was [...]

I’m just back from the New River Birding and Nature Festival, held each year near Fayetteville, West Virginia. It has become one of my favorite annual birding events, so much so that I was really bummed out when it appeared that scheduling conflicts were going to keep me from going this year. Fortunately, that issue [...]

I spent much of the last several days leading trips and hanging out at various events associated with the Delmarva Birding Weekend. Though I had a great time, I took virtually no pictures. When you’re leading a big group of people it’s darned near impossible, in my experience, to take any time out even for scenic [...]

It occurred to me one day during my recent trip to Mexico that I was taking a lot of pictures of red things, often with green and white as background or accents. Hmmm, I thought, I should get a good shot of Mexico’s flag–it would make a nice introduction to a blog post featuring those [...]
