Actually Al Mueller’s post here in Nature’s Domain about the Bald Eagles feeding in the frozen Mississippi River at a spot warmed by a generating plant gave me the idea for this topic. Many birds are opportunists when it comes to finding food. They look for easy pickings from either human created or natural conditions. [...]
In keeping with this weeks Colors in Nature theme, being the color blue, I have selected photos of the Blue Jay. Most of these were taken in my backyard. To attract the Blue Jay I put whole peanuts in the bird feeder. The Jays love these and will take the whole peanut (in the shell) [...]
Snowy egrets are quite common around where I live here in Southern New Jersey. We don’t usually see to many in the winter (ironic huh) but they are usually abundant in the spring, summer and fall months. An incredibly beautiful bird, I really like the yellow accents around the eye and the feet. I think [...]
I’m going to start a small series of post that are color themed. Today’s color is of course green.

I’m going to attempt to show some of the magnificent [...]

My son Ray has already done a post on this but I will add a little more. We took our camper and stayed at the Elk Neck State campground so we wouldn’t have as long to get to the Conowingo Dam. This is a great campground to stay in if you are visiting the area [...]
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted so I figured I’d put a quick series of white birds up. I’ve been a bit crazy trying to juggle all the work that comes to a photographer in the fall, so hopefully in the coming months, I’ll have a bit more time to dedicate to posting [...]
My family and I went camping last week at Trap Pond State Park in Delaware. Our site was right on the lake and I keep my canoe at the water’s edge. Can’t beat this for convenience. This lake is near the bottom of Delaware and has the northernmost grove of Bald Cypress Trees in the [...]
This is a fun photograph of a Canada Goose taking off out of the water. I just happened to catch the huge splash of water in focus and it really made for a great different image.
