Ok, it’s not a goose. But nobody ever played duck duck swan. I was surprised to see all of these birds chilling together – every time I’ve seen swans on the water, they chase away any other birds that get too close. Maybe the ducks raised this one?

Birds
Sunset Flight
At first I thought it was dust on the lens, when I got back to edit this. Turns out the bugs are just much more numerous and visible at the right time during the evening. My lens wasn’t quite big enough to get as close as I would have liked for this shot, but I […]
Flying Rat Convention
After finding something on Facebook marketplace that I wanted to buy, I ended up meeting the seller (who lived past Cleveland) at Lakeview Park. I brought my camera along using the trip as an excuse to shoot some shots. It didn’t end up being quite as big a photo day as I’d hoped… the weather […]
Evening Avian Meeting
There’s so many variables in photography… I often struggle with knowing the right choice in foreground / background focus. In this case, I intentionally let the background be more blurry than I’d normally like, because the leaf cover was kind of swampy looking in general – I wanted to keep that more abstract. Plus, it […]
Home For The Night
The part of the Island I wanted to get to was chained off to vehicle traffic, and I didn’t feel like walking the mile or so in that evening, so I opted for a less scenic stretch of shoreline.
Swan Horizon
I’d intended to get some shots at Magee Marsh but they were shut down for hunting of some kind or another, so I ended up walking around the ponds at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge which is nearby. Not as much woods you can get into, but sometimes some birds… in this case I apparently found […]
We Three Geese
I love being outdoors with my camera on days where there’s clouds like this scattered around the sky, it’s always fun to happen upon a composition you really like without having to edit clouds into the image. These three feathered friends were just leaving the shoreline when I walked around the corner path so I […]

Feathered Guard
I’ve taken a lot of photos of sandhill cranes… they are fascinating birds. And I love how both these and their cousins the blue herons sound like dinosaurs. I wanted to get a bit more up and personal this time, since I have a lot of the same kinds of shots, but one of these […]
Pecker
I’m pretty sure this is a “common grackle”, at least according to Google images. I didn’t quite have the depth of field on this I’d have liked, but his eye is so intense to me for some reason… he’s tiny, but in the eye you can still see the dinosaur he was millions of years […]
