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 made a return visit to Pinecraft Park in Sarasota to show Louise the Barred Owls and the Pileated Woodpeckers. However, on this visit I could only shoot the juveniles. We did see an adult Barred Owl, but it was right against the trunk of a tree and completely obscured by branches and leaves. But […]

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 […]

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 […]
