I just love watching and shooting shorebirds. As regular readers know I even travel to Churchill, Manitoba to shoot the shorebirds in their striking breeding plumage. I have had great fun at Fort DeSoto County Park in Florida – working a Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) when my spotter (Louise) points out a Long-billed Curlew (Numinous […]

Yes indeed the Burrowing Owl digs its own burrow in which to lay and hatch its young! In Cape Coral, Florida you are told to look for vacant building lots to search for Burrowing Owls (Athene Caunicularia). This proves the Owls are a wise as legend has, because in Cape Coral their habitats are protected […]

Yesterday morning I went back to Honeymoon Island State Park. Mainly because I had heard the day before that there was a pair of Great Horned Owls that had two chicks that had fledged – AND also I had such a great day there on Saturday. On Saturday I had spent some time moving slowly […]

This is my first visit to Fort DeSoto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. So this is really only day 3 of my new project – shooting wildlife, in particular birds. It is at last warm (last week on the East side of Florida it was very cold and windy) with a pleasant breeze taking […]

I called my 200mm-400mm f/4 VRII lens “Big Bertha” when I first got it because it is big and also heavy. I use this mostly for airs hows. I have recently acquired “Bigger Bertha” to use for wildlife and this was “Bigger’s” first outing. Also for my new heavier duty Really Right Stuff tripod and […]
