A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Photographing wildlife is a hobby of mine, that I truly love. I hope you enjoy my efforts to capture the beauty of creation.
Great capture of this Great Horned Owl family. Thanks for sharing your spotting with all of us.
Thank you Yeskay, Sam10, and Irinapi for your kind words and comments.
Thanks KarenL, I am not sure if it was something I did at one time, or if my pages just began to refresh differently with an update to PN but I could not figure out where or how to get to my last comments. I had asked others about it quite awhile ago, and no one gave me the information you did. Thank you so much. I want to be more active especially when someone asks about one of my spottings or assumes something that is not the case. An example would be my Whooping Crane Sighting and the banding of them. Thanks for helping me be a bit more active! :)
Thanks so much Chris P. I strive for quality photos of my captures, for several reasons. First I enjoy photography, and I enjoy quality photography. Secondly there are many others who enjoy quality wildlife photography, and I want them to be able to enjoy my efforts. Some of those who enjoy wildlife photography might only enjoy perhaps birds, or perhaps just birds of prey. If I can get them to regularly view those photos and then look at my others, perhaps in time they will develop a deeper appreciation or even a deeper love for all wildlife. If they do, perhaps then they might take a more active role in their part of the world.
LarryGraziano, thanks for that information, there is only one problem with doing it that way, because I am on multiple sights that wish me to do this the same way, my email in box was getting loaded down with over 300 and sometimes as many as 500 comments a day. I still receive over 100 comments a day with many of the sights now turned off. This is a TERRIBLE way to get notifications. I loved it when I could simply find them all on my own page. I sure do not have time to sift through that many emails, and I sure do not have time to hunt for them either. If a sight makes it easy to use, and easy to be connected with others I will gladly do so, if they make it complicated I simply do not bother. PN by making me receive emails caused me to turn off the notification because I can not deal with 300 to 500 or more emails in my in box per day. Perhaps the powers that be here, will reconsider how notifications take place, I suspect there traffic would increase and more people would use the sight daily. I know i WOULD. As for turning on Notifications to this sight and others, MOST ARE TURNED OFF so my inbox has only 50 -100 emails now a day.
Thank you Landmark Expert. I strive to get high quality captures of every bird no matter how ordinary. I am thrilled you enjoy my efforts to try to make the "Ordinary look Extraordinary.
A belated thank you New Yorker
Landmark Expert, There are less then 700 of these birds worldwide. There were less then two dozen back in the 1940's. Every whooping crane is now banded ( The bands is a way to Identify the bird in the field) and many birds also carry a radio transmitter so that people can track them via GPS. This bird is a free ranging bird, and had flown back from Florida, where it had wintered. I photographed this bird two weeks after at had returned to Wisconsin. If you follow the link in my reference portion on this page you can read about the banding and about this bird. I have provided the link as follows: http://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/crane/0...
