After churning through Atlantic waters off the coast of Maine for about an hour, the island appears in the distance. At first it is nothing but a dark speck on the horizon, but it grows and grows until you come to a stop a few hundred feet off the shore. By this point Atlantic Puffins [...]
The last and final color in the nature’s colors series, yellow. It can be both subtle and bright, it’s another quite common natural color, at least some hue of yellow. It’s so close to shifting to orange or red in a sunset but it’s there. A yellow bird can easily blend into it’s surroundings or [...]
Argentina is a place that might not normally be at the top of a wildlife photograhers must go list. Maybe this post will change that. Over a week and a half this past Christmas and the new year we traveled to several places throughout the country and saw some incredible places, wildlife, and birds. [...]

Many birds are opportunists when it comes to finding food. They look for easy pickings from either human created or natural conditions. [...]
One of my favorite winter activities is locating and photographing American Bald Eagles. Their population is growing every year near my home in southeast Minnesota and is evidenced by spotting more and more of their unmistakable huge nests along the Mississippi river. Add their numbers to those of migrating eagles and once in awhile I [...]
Let’s brighten things up this time, enough with the black, time to move on to orange. Orange is another abundant color in nature, especially during the fall months in many areas of the world.
