Wildlife Photography as Storytelling
For many wildlife photographers there comes a time when the quest to add this or that species to one’s image bank gives way to something more exciting: the desire to tell a story about an animal’s life. While there are no recipes for capturing animal behavior, the search for food and social interactions present some [...]
Bald Eagles at Conowingo – 2010
Although there have been a few posts here about this amazing place, I thought I would add my observations and photographs to the blog. It’s such an incredible location, and the opportunities for shots of these incredible birds rivals just about anyplace else in the country. Inspired by others who visited there in the past, [...]
Cattus Island, Four Seasons of Photographic Adventure
Located in Toms River, NJ 530 acre Cattus Island is a part of the Ocean County Park system. In the heart of the “Jersey Shore” Cattus Island offers a variety of ecosystems including maritime upland pine/oak forest, salt marsh, and freshwater wetlands.

Making the Most of the Brown Season
The Mid-Atlantic region’s mild winters – temperatures rarely dip below 20˚ F – and plentiful sunshine make it hard to stay indoors for long. Many woodland birds and mammals have fewer hiding places, and the need to conserve energy means they’re often more interested in feeding than in running away from photographers. But the winter [...]

Atlantic Puffins at Machias Seal Island
Want to photograph the Atlantic Puffin? The best place in United States is Machias Seal Island, off the coast of Maine. My son, Ray Hennessy and I made the trip there recently. We left southern New Jersey early on a Sunday morning getting to Jonesboro, Maine that evening. We stayed at the Blueberry Patch Motel [...]
Patience, Observation, and Persistence
That’s what it takes. To get the great shots. To see the amazing moments. I thought at this time I’d talk about it and give some examples of just what you can do when you incorporate these three critical pieces of nature photography. It has been especially evident of late, as I make my regular [...]
