Eagle Photography in Wisconsin’s Northwoods
I was hoping to get some great Eagle photos in Wisconsin’s Northwoods but the Eagles and Loons had already migrated towards the south. I wonder if the early flight is the possibility ove a very cold winter up there. Just before I left for the Northern Wisconsin, I was at the World Bird Sanctuary andContinue reading “Eagle Photography in Wisconsin’s Northwoods”
Chipmunk Antics
I do not have any of these around my house in St. Louis so when in Northern Wisconsin I find them fun to watch. Chipmunks seem to be the alternative to squirrels in the area. There was a place called Little Swiss Village with a miniature village where chipmunks untie peanuts strung on a cord,Continue reading “Chipmunk Antics”
Gull on a Post
I found this gull on a fence post overlooking Lake Minocqua. I think he was posing for the tourists or at least was witing for some food to be tossed he way. He did not mind me getting close or moving around. This may be a Caspian Gull, which is rare in this area. ClickContinue reading “Gull on a Post”

Great Egret
Forest Park in St. Louis has an open air theater with a lake in front of it. I was walking to the lake when, coming around some shrubbery, I almost ran into this Egret. The Egret did not flinch. He gave me some poses and then flew down into the lake. A very obliging bird.Continue reading “Great Egret”
Ducks in a row
These are few of the many water fowl in Forest Park. A good place to see these ducks is near the suspension bridge just east of the Grand Basin. There are various types of ducks, geese and an egret or two wandering about. This photo was taken with a 70-200mm lens @ 200mm, f3.3. ThisContinue reading “Ducks in a row”
