This image of a male painted bunting was taken in the Atchafalaya NWR during spring migration. The male buntings are very territorial and will fight for territory. These fights could get bloody and even result in death. They are vulnerable to cowbird parasitism. The brown headed cowbird has recently moved into bunting territory in the southeastern US. Some believe this has contributed up to 80% of the decline of the bunting population in the area. Canon 40D / Canon 500mm + 1.4TC / 1/50s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso1000

This prothonotary was photographed in the Atchafalaya NWR during the spring migration. They are the most common wood warbler in south Louisiana. There are known as the “swamp canary” due to it’s striking yellow color. They prefer moss covered trees for nesting in the swamp.

This image of a male Northern Parula was captured in the Atchafalaya NWR during spring migration. They are one of the first warblers to arrive. Their song is one of the easiest to recognize. It is a rising buzzy insect-like trill. If more than one male is around during nesting season, you will be rewarded with this unique sound for some time. Canon EOS 40D / Canon EF 500mm f/4L + 1.4 TC / 1/80s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso800

A feeding flock of Snow Geese takes flight after being scared from the cornfield at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. Often it’s a coyote that spooks them or other predators. While not equal in flock size to the morning fly out, these “fright flights” are an impressive spectacle in and of themselves.

This male northern parula was photographed in the Atchafalaya NWR during the beginning of spring migration. They are one of 14 wood warblers to nest in Louisiana. Their preferred habitat in Louisiana is wetlands with plenty of moss filled cypress trees. It is one of the smallest warblers at 41/2” inches. Canon 40D / Canon EF-500mm + 1.4TC Mar. 21, 2009 8:00am / 1/160s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso800

“The J. N. “Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge is part of the United States National Wildlife Refuge System, located in southwestern Florida, on Sanibel Island in the Gulf of Mexico. It is named for the cartoonist Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling. The 5,200 acre (21 km²) refuge was established in 1976, to protect one of the country’s largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystems. The refuge is well-known for its migratory bird populations. Hurricane Charley struck the refuge on August 13, 2004, causing major changes to the topography and ecology. The J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge Complex consists of the following: the Darling Refuge itself, and the Caloosahatchee, Island Bay, Matlacha and Pine Island National Wildlife Refuges. The northern part of the refuge is designated as the J.N. Ding Darling Wilderness Area, and consists of 2,619.13 acres (10.6 km²) or 41.0% of its total area. Thank you for viewing my work!!!

This is a 15 minute exposure of star trails above one of the main pools at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I took this when it first looked fully dark outside and I was still able to catch color from the remains of the earlier sunset. The color is as it came out of the camera with noise reduction applied. I was amazed at my luck in catching an Iridium flare! “Iridium flares”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare are brilliant glints or flares created on predictable intervals by the constellation Iridium communication satellites interacting with the sun. You can tell the hotter stars by their streak’s blue color, with cooler ones coming in more red. What amazed me is that star trails would come in this good so soon after sunset. I attribute the nearly new moon and the low light pollution of this area in New Mexico. This was taken at ISO 400 at 28mm f/2.8 utilizing long-time exposure noise reduction in camera and further selective noise reduction via Neat Image in post.

Titusville Florida USA’s Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge is a favorite spot for alligators and for photograping them. This gator was found sunning on a small island right next to the roadway. On any given day busloads of Eco Tourists can be seen on Black Point Drive. But I found a small narrow roadway running along the top of a levee about 2 miles south of BPD that is very productive.

This image of a female Painted Bunting was captured in the Atchafalaya NWR at the start of breeding season. There were two rival males competing for her attention. The female lays three to four eggs from March-July. She typically incubates the eggs from 11-12 days. The young leave the nest at 8-14 days. As many as two broods are produced in a year.
