There were “waves” of Fowler’s Toads along Wildlife Drive when I took this shot a few weeks ago. Some of these guys are tiny and can easily be overlooked, but are relatively easy to photograph if you take the time to notice. I prefer shooting at their level, despite the fact that most decide to […]

This sandpiper image was taken earlier this month at Stone Harbor Point. I like the almost glass like reflection created from the wet sand.

Like an early bird who catches the worm, I got up at 3:30 am yesterday and was excited to get this Semipalmated Plover image in the early morning light at Stone Harbor Point.

This Ghost Crab image was taken last weekend on a gorgeous morning at Stone Harbor Point. Heading for the beach turned out to be a good choice! It was so nice to not have to battle the bugs of Forsythe for a change since dealing with a little sand on my equipment is nothing compared […]

This backlit Common Yellow Throat image was taken last weekend. Unlike the past where I’ve only spotted one or two a season at the refuge, these birds have been really common this year. They are so much fun to watch as they fly from stalk to stalk and usually a challenge for me to photograph.

I took these Snowy Egret images at Edwin Forsythe this morning. The no-see-ums were brutal, but the rain held out long enough to get some interesting shots. I thought these worked better in black and white and tried to empathize the wavy reflections and the white of the egret against the dark background by boosting […]
