I took this shot nine years ago and never opened the image until last night (I’m probably going to catch hell from readers for that…). It had three surprises waiting for me when I finally saw it full screen.
There’s a fantastic and brand new resource out there for serious students of birds from John Hopkins University Press and it contains three of my bird photographs so I hope you’ll allow me a little horn tootin’ today. Let’s have a closer look at this massive new book.
To say I was excited to get this two shot series is an understatement. A later event took the shine off of one of the images for me but at the time I didn’t know what the future would bring.
Almost five years ago I published a post entitled “A Guide To Aging Bald Eagles”. With over 71,000 views to date that post has been my most popular ever so I decided it was overdue for an update and enhancements. For this version I’ve added three images and made other improvements.
None of these photos is an award-winner but for disparate reasons each one grabs me just a little and I’ll mention why in this post. All of them were taken in the last several weeks.
Please do not pin my images on Pinterest, Tumblr or any other pinning site or social media or use them for anything else without my express permission (and that includes using them as models for paintings, drawings or tattoos etc.).
