Do you have your jacket?
Dear Friends, this is a typical uniform for me when taking nature photographs in Crex or other places, from sturdy boots to sunglasses at all times. These items are necessary to stay warm and dry, the missing items in this image are a tripod and cap. On colder days a hooded sweatshirt and jeans, on warmer days i lose the sweatshirt, My father always said before we left the house, ” do you have your jacket”, lesson learned. Now if i could only teach my husband to bring a jacket because the weather can change so quickly and drastically especially in the spring. So do you have your jacket? til Tomorrow MJ
Bobolink
Dear Friends, this male bobolink sings from a small bush in Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in central Wisconsin. We went there to see the spring Whooping Cranes but they were all too far away for good pictures, so we settled on the smaller birds. The red-headed woodpecker is not hard to find here and they nest in the refuge, one of them nests very close to the visitors center. til Tomorrow MJ
Red-Headed Woodpecker
Friends, this is a red-headed woodpecker from Necedah National Wildlife Refuge taken this summer. This image is a little softer than i would like but also shows the reason why i wished to obtain a new telephoto lens. My new Tamron 150-600 mm is much sharper and will be a valuable tool til Tomorrow MJ
Weekly Photo Challenge:Container
Friends,this red-headed woodpecker adult is leaving his baby in this tree container and removing garbage from the nest. I know this image is a little soft, but i consider myself lucky to have caught him in flight. This was in Necedah National Game Refuge where Jim and i are chasing wild Whooping Cranes and any other birds that fly in front of us. This refuge seems to have a great number of red-headed woodpeckers that are absent from our neck of the woods. til Tomorrow MJ
