    Birds of Winter

    Its hard not to love spring/summer with all its variety. Still there are times when my mind wanders back to the birds of winter. The Snowy Owl is one of our winter birds.

    Mystery Baby

    I found this little (3 inches) fledgling this morning in this bush near my bird feeders. I made a quick trip with my camera, tripod and 105 macro lens. I am told that a short while later feeding by a plain looking adult ensued. Right now it seems okay. I have no idea what this is.

    Fragile and Endangered

    Earlier today I posted a photo of one of our most prolific butterflies, the Monarch. This image is of the endangered and fairly rare Karner Blue. There are a couple of locations remaining (in Wisconsin) where the Lupine plants still foster these tiny Karner Blues. I am not sure whether they...

    It always amazes me when I see the details of something common like this fly. Sometimes we miss so much in nature. I believe this is one of the many Tachinid Flies. It measures 1/8th to 1/2 inch (3-14mm) across. I used my Nikon 105 Micro lens and a Bogen tripod. An aperture of f29 was...
