Bashakill Trip From Last Week

 

Over the past week I have processed the photographs from my trips from last week.  Those trips were great.  Hopefully I will be able to get out to the Bashakill again soon.  But the last few days have been a rain out.  Some of the pictures came out better than others, but I was very happy with my first photograph of a cedar waxwing which I have only seen a few times.

 

 

Also I was pleased with the snapping turtle photographs and was content with the red tailed hawk photographs.  The hawk photographs would have been better if the lighting was not so harsh. 

 

 

 

Overall I was very pleased with them and I’m looking forward to getting some more photographs soon.  Until next time.

Back Home and Enjoying The Wildlife

It has been a long time since I have uploaded anything but this semester at college was the busiest I have ever had.  I have been out of school for about a week now and I can finally get working on my blog again.  I spent the last two days going to the Bashakill Wetlands and trying to find anything to photograph.  I was quite surprised by all the wildlife I have seen.  I even got some photographs of Cedar Waxwings, which I haven’t seen in years.  I also saw snapping turtles laying eggs.  But that’s just the beginning I also saw a Bald Eagle, an Osprey, a Red Tailed Hawk, Great Blue Herons, Warblers, Oriels, Tree and Barn Swallows, Geese,  and many other species of birds and turtles.  Plus a lot of Dragonflies and Tiger Swallowtail butterflies.  I’m hoping that I can get out a couple days every week and get some great photographs this summer.  Over the next few days I will be processing the images I have taken and I will upload them soon.
