Yellow Beauty

Yellow Warbler, seen on the Magee Marsh Boardwalk, on Wednesday, May 9, 2018, during the “Biggest Week in American Birding!”  It truly was Warbler Heaven during this time. This is one of my best photos during that visit!  Using a Canon EOS 7D with a EF 70-300mm lens at: 300 mm; ISO 2500; f 25; 1/500 sec exposure.

Spring is Here!

Thinking the danger of freezing was over, on April 30, I put out my hummingbird feeder. I was rewarded by a visitor on May 1!   I was delighted!!

Wren House Gets Snowed On

The snow will have to melt before any Wrens will want to make their home here! This snow has already melted and replaced, at least once! But we know that Spring will come! It has come faithfully every year, I can remember!!

The Common Loon

This was taken at Sippo Lake, in Canton, with a 300mm lens and a Tamron 2x extender.  I have been wanting to get a good photo of these birds, but haven’t been successful! I really had to stretch this shot digitally, so somewhat grainy, also added some medium HDR, so not a super photo, but it shows the bird! tc

Surprise Visitor

A carolina wren showed up at my window bird feeder. I have been trying to capture a photo of a carolina wren in the woods our walking trail goes through, but no luck. I had a lousy photo through the plastic feeder at the window, and when I got closer to the window I saw it sitting on our clothes line! A pleasure!  With first posting, I forgot to insert photo! 😦
