Magee Marsh, Crane Creek, BWIAB, Ohio, Birding

I took this photo with a 7D Mark II camera and 100-400 lens I borrowed from the Canon folks at their booth at the entrance to Magee Marsh during BWIAB. I loved the camera and lens, though at my age, not sure I want to carry it around all day! As you may have noticed, the series of photos of my trip to Washington D.C. has finished, as now I will likely be featuring photos of the birds I photographed at the Magee Marsh boardwalk, etc.  The Red-breasted Nuthatch was a lifer for me, meaning in Birdwatcher language, the first time you saw it in your life!

Elusive Carolina Wren

After several days of trying to capture a photo of a Carolina Wren, I was successful! We were walking on the Rails to Trails trail near Millersburg, Ohio.

As well as a sparrow!

As we walked on the walking trail, this white-tailed deer decided she wasn’t in any danger!

Is Anybody Home?

Many people will be home this weekend celebrating Easter with family!

I haven’t had a chance to go out and photograph all the harbingers of Spring, so I am posting this photo I took beside a walking trail, three weeks ago. Needless to say those flowers were later covered by at least two or three snowfalls!

Fall is Here

Berries on this Brilliantissima Red Chokeberry are turning red, which is the color I wanted to be dominant this fall in my shrub bed.

Fly Away

Maybe losing time for the perfect rainbow shot, by shooting first in manual mode from a previous shot (blowing out the sky), changing lenses, etc. gave me this more interesting photo with the clouds moving in?
