My previous blog was about the shorebirds in their gorgeous breeding plumage that make their way to Churchill, Manitoba.

We are at the Dealership for “Tigger”, our 40′ diesel pusher motor home and one of the managers tells me that they had just finished clearing the pond and there is a couple of “nice ducks” on the water. So I head round there with my gear, but they are a pair of standard Mallards. However […]

Spending hours at The Venice Rookery on my new project, bird photography, I get the chance just to watch and observe different behaviours. One that started to get my attention was the different way some of the nesting birds fed their young. A Great Blue Heron with one chick arrives on the tops of the […]

I always rise early so that I can shoot in the sweet light of the morning. At The Rookery the sun rises behind you as you are lining up on the wildlife which is just perfect. Today was a GREAT day for me – I saw (and shot) my first Pileated Woodpecker. What a treat, […]

Visiting The Rookery at Venice again there is this Great Egret nest on the edge of the “island” in full view. For the first time I saw Great Egret chicks – how startlingly strange they look with their green skin an white “punk” plumage around their head and necks. And those big eyes, which when […]

This morning at The Rookery in Venice, Florida, a Tricolored Heron entertained me for quite a time as it edged its way around the banks of the pond looking for its breakfast. Its gorgeous blue beak and it richly coloured plumage caught my attention so I was captivated and watched it as it patiently worked […]
