Sometimes the simple makes for the best photos. Spring is in the air, literally. It’s allergy time for many, but nature provides some amazing photography momonets.
I love this photo.

Every now and then, I have one of those special days when I see a bird or some other wildlife that I have not previously photographed. Every time this happens, I get super excited. That happened this past week. This is a white-breasted nuthatch. I could be wrong, so let me know if you know better.
I really enjoyed watching her go up and down the tree limbs, searching for insects. She was so intentional about her search. She finally stopped long enough for me to capture this photo. Beautiful!

Picture this: I’m driving across a country road. I had just finished taking several really good photos, and I was heading home. Just ahead of me, on the left side of the road I see something. I could not tell what it was right away, but it was an animal .. maybe a dog?
As I get closer, I see this very large broad-winged hawk. I could not tell what he had killed, but he was not going to fly away with it. As I slowly drive by with my window down, he looked over his back at me, then turned and continued to devour dinner. I stopped a short distance down road and took this photo.
I am interested in some feedback on the identity of this bird. I really believe it’s a male Broad-Winged Hawk, but it has some characteristics of a female Peregrine Falcon. Thoughts?

Even the ducks looked cold on this spring morning. It was cold. The second photo was taken earlier, on the same chilly morning. They were all hunkered down, trying to get warm.
The lighting was very different in these two photos. I shot the 1st one before the sunrise was complete, and the second shot after the lighting was better. They are very different photos.

I see these trees several times a week. They stand out .. taller, bigger, and unique. The best way to get noticed is to stand out. Do better work, unique work .. just be outstanding.
