Atlantic Puffins at Machias Seal Island

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.

Wings n’ Feathers

Wings n’ Feathers

Beautiful, unique, colorful, multi-purpose WINGS. It’s what allows birds to fly and to grab our attention.

Some types of wings are designed for soaring, some for speed, [...]

Time for Snow – A Series of Snowy Egret Photos

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 [...]

A Series of Different White Birds

A Series of Different White Birds

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 [...]
