A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I enjoy nature, birding and hiking. I recently took up photography, and I enjoy sharing my photos with whomever wishes to view them.

Sign In to followGreat shot. These little guys are so fun to watch. I always no winter is here/coming when they show up.
Such a beautiful bird...and lots of them!
That third photo is amazing! Thanks for posting. By the way, do you know what kind of owl it was? It looks like a Great Horned Owl.
Great shot of the Juvi Cooper's. Looks like he found some lunch.
Beautiful shot. Spider webs are hard to get focused on.
Cammie - I use a Cannon Powershot SX40. It is actually a rather inexpensive point and shoot. It has a 35x zoom with 840mm capability. I have taken photos with it that are just as crisp and nice as some I have seen taken by 8000.00 dollar setups. Btw, thanks for the kind words. I have taken a break from Project Noah and have literally thousands of photos I could upload. I may do a smidgen here and there when time permits.
Actually I live in a large city. There just so happens to be several Metro Parks nearby. That being said, I find that nature can be experienced almost everywhere, from your back yard, to a park in the middle of a city, to a wilderness on the edge of nowhere. You only have to look.
He was looking a little rough after the bath. Bathing behavior in birds is fascinating. Over the weekend I saw three different species bathing right next to each other in a stream.
Thanks Cammie. Actually there were several of these little guys in a tree...all males. He does kind of look like interrupted an important meeting...hehe.
My first experience with Tarpon was in the Cayman Islands. I was scuba diving into a cave as about 15-20 tarpon were coming out. I assure you, they are massive when seen next to you in the water. Having said that, they are very gentle fish for their size and beautiful to boot.
