What’s Up? Me, early again, as usual. I am getting started packing for the big UK trip. For me, packing begins with doing laundry, completely unpacking my two checked bags, and charging all the camera batteries. I shot a new video yesterday on some of the finer points of using the FlexShooter Pro head; […] What’s Up Two brand new BAA publications will be released soon. The first will be The BAA Middle of Florida Photographic Site Guide, co-written and co-illustrated by Joe Przybyla and yours truly. Frog Pond Adventures/A Guide to Photographing Frogs and Toads was written and illustrated by Andrew McLachlan and edited for readability by yours truly. […] What’s Up? I realized yesterday that my one hour ten, minute connection time in Chicago on the way to Edinburgh, Scotland for the 2019 UK Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kites IPT was not a safe one. If my flight from Orlando to O’Hare was delayed at all and I missed my flight to EDI there […] What’s Up? More of the same. But no rain on Thursday. I have not gone down to the lake as the fields are so wet that I’d be scared of getting stuck (again). I hope to be making a second FlexShooter Pro video this morning if I can grab Jim before he heads out on […] What’s Up? It is good to be home, eating well, back in the pool and working hard. It has been pouring here for several days with huge thunderstorms and torrential rains (interspersed with periods of bright sunshine). I fly to the UK next Wednesday evening for the 2019 Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kites IPT. […] What’s Up? After a delayed flight out of Thunder Bay on Monday, I was very lucky to just make my flight to Orlando. Traffic was horrific as Jim picked me up that evening so we stopped for a nice dinner at Carrabba’s to let the traffic ease a bit. We did not make it back […] What’s Up? We had a great early morning of fishing and some pretty good eagle photography on Sunday morning. I caught my biggest Walleye, about 24 inches. On this lake, all Walleye over 18″ must be released as they are the breeding females. It is after 6pm and I still have not started packing yet […] What’s Up Yesterday, Friday, June 14, was my 73rd birthday. We caught lots of Walleye and had a great dinner of ribs and coleslaw. Wind against sun both morning and afternoon pretty much put the kibosh on eagle photography. Today, Saturday, June 15 was simply fantastic for the eagles with a perfect east breeze. I […] What’s Up We had a great Thursday afternoon with loads of Walleye including some fairly large ones and tons of flying and diving eagle images with 37 keepers for me on a sunny, windy afternoon. Thanks to those who commented on the Red Knot Three Ways blog post here. Coming Soon I will […] What’s Up We had the perfect morning on Wednesday. It began with a dead battery in the boat. While Anita went back to get the charger, I cast from the dock and hooked a nice pike on a lure — my favorite way to fish for them, and lost it at the boat. In the […] Two Canon 600mm f/4L IS III Lenses in Stock Right Now! Bedford’s has two almost-impossible-to-get-your-hands on Canon EF 600mm F/4L IS USM III lenses in stock right now. If you have been trying to get one, you can have it tomorrow. You will enjoy both the BIRDSASART discount and free overnight shipping (to […] What’s Up? We have been getting up at about 4am and out on the lake for sunrise at about 5am. The weather has been extremely variable: on Saturday it was 88 degrees and sunny and still. The black flies were killing our ankles. On Sunday morning we fished through rain and high winds and being […] What’s Up? On Friday evening we limited out on Walleye. On Saturday morning we caught zero Walleye but did great with Northern Pike. I was thrilled with the 6-pounder that I landed on a blue and white Daredevil spoon. We spent an hour gently pursuing a pair of Common Mergansers and though we got within […] What’s Up? My 17 1/2 hour travel day was relatively uneventful except for the exhaustion. My first morning in northern Ontario was filled with a mother and baby Moose, Walleye, Northern Pike, nesting Herring Gull, and fishing Bald Eagles. Only nine 1/2 more days to go. FlexShooter Pro You can order your […] What’s Up? Me. Early. Very early on Thursday June 6. I fly to Toronto at 7:00am today. After a nearly five-hour layover, I continue on to Thunder Bay, Ontario (YQT) and then finally and hopefully board the one hour flight to Dryden (YHD). I am scheduled to arrive at 5:10am Central time. Total time in […] What’s Up? Lots. Last night I went down to the lake as the wind was a gentle breeze from the northeast. There was an Osprey on the perch but the western sky was too, too clear. While I was tooling around, I found two medium-sized crane chicks that were surely hatched in May. Jim […] What’s Up? We’ve sold 36 of the 40 FlexShooter Pro heads that we have received, all to positive reviews. We should be getting another shipment next week. I am tidying up some loose ends while getting ready for my primarily fishing trip to Northern Ontario. I am bringing lots of photo gear. I fly […] What’s Up? I am proud to share with you today some wonderful photographs and a truly wonderful story. I began working on the Nikon D850 Camera User’s Guide yesterday. It finally rained here on Saturday afternoon. Morning photography has not been great larely and yesterday light winds from the west in the morning […] What’s Up? It was a bit cloudy today — Friday May 31, 2019 — right at sunrise so I set up the car in the driveway with my i-Phone on the tripod in the holder that I learned about in Dr. Cliff Oliver’s great iPhone Photography e-Guide . Then I grabbed Jim before his morning […] Huge Late-registration UK Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kites Instructional Photo-Tour Discount Increased! In an effort to fill a single remaining slot, I have increased the the late-registration discount for this great IPT from $3,000 to $3500. Scroll down for trip details.
