What’s Up?
With the doom and gloom reports of no birds at DeSoto, John Johnson and I had an absolutely killer morning with gorgeous light, spectacularly beautiful Laughing Gulls in full breeding plumage, and a silly-tame flock of Red Knots. Curious as to how I would edit the morning’s 2433 image folder, I did that […]

What’s Up?
Tuesday morning with Mike and Morris was very good. Wednesday morning with Mike and Morris was superb. There was little wind and we had lots of spoonies fly in directly at us right down sun angle. We hung around until after eleven thirty in hopes that a few birds might bathe. None did. […]

What’s Up?
Rajat Kapoor and his son Phillip drove over from Melbourne early on Monday morning. The baby cranes were right where they were supposed to be and continued to be amazingly cooperative. I took them on a grand photo tour of ILE. Working from my SUV, we got to photograph the surviving crane colt, […]
What’s Up?
I headed down to the lake early on Sunday morning hoping to find the new crane family coming off the nest in the South Marsh. I arrived 15 minutes before sunrise, only to find the family of four feeding right where they have been for the past ten days. Needless to say, I […]
What’s Up?
Saturday morning turned out a lot better than the weather forecast. It dawned sunny with a good breeze from the north that turned northeast before swinging to the northwest at about 9am. I found the baby cranes foraging with and getting fed by the adults in the same spot they have been every […]

What’s Up?
I enjoyed an amazing session with the two baby cranes down by the lake at ILE on Wednesday morning. The fog lifted quickly to reveal clear skies. With some moisture in the air, the light was gorgeous. I found the chicks right were I had left them two days before. They are more […]
This Just In!
Just got back from an amazing session down by the lake at ILE (I created 468 images in a less than 45-minute session!). It is now 8:50am. Despite the “partly cloudy” weather forecast the fog lifted quickly to reveal clear skies. With some moisture in the air, the light was gorgeous. I […]
Whats Up?
On Monday morning, I was thrilled to find the two new crane chicks feeding alongside the parents in the exact same spot as they had been the day before. Again, they were quite accepting of my presence. Because of the dense fog, I opted to work with the 600mm f/4 GM lens and […]

As Jim drove away from Stick Marsh last Wednesday — we were headed back to ILE, I was overcome with a feeling of euphoria. I had […]
What’s Up?
Yesterday, Vaughn Larsen and I had yet another great morning at Stick Marsh. Vaughn, visiting from Colorado, worked with his R5/RF 100-500 rig. To say that he learned a ton about his R5 would be a huge understatement. More on that in tomorrow’s blog post.
Monday’s post will reveal a major problem that […]
What’s Up?
Stick Marsh continues to consistently provide some of the very best photographic opportunities I have ever come across in my almost 38 years of bird photography. I screwed up yesterday by switching back and forth from the 200-600 G lens to the 600 GM (with a TC) and back again. Eery time I […]

Joe Usewicz and I absolutely killed at Stick Marsh on Wednesday. The action was so good that we did not head home until 1:00pm!
Are You in Florida and Free on Thursday (and/or Friday) Morning?
