Got tired of Twitter/X and the ads and negativity. Came over here for positivity and hope.

I'm a wildlife photographer. Please enjoy this image of an African Fish Eagle I took in Kenya.

Bald Eagle 🦅 from Black Rock State Park.

After some more culling it seems I did get a shot with him in focus.

Same Tufted Titmouse. I like the detail and the eye contact.

I made it back to look for the Bald Eagle again and I was given a second chance.

Sometimes the biggest lesson is to be prepared. I'm glad I got the shot but missed getting a sharp image because my shutter was too slow. Still happy to photograph the American Bald Eagle in flight. I have to go back and try again.

Ilford HP5 Plus 400 film is the standard B&W film I used in college. I started a roll and took two years to finish, and this was one of the more recent images.

Been a while since I last posted. Life can be hard sometimes. Recently decided to explore Film Photography again. The world of Color Negative film is a really fascinating medium to explore. I'm sad I missed the nuance back in college.

Long time no post. Events in life can sometimes be hectic. But it's nice to get a reminder of the good things.

Here is a picture of a Pileated Woodpecker. I knew he was around, but he finally made an appearance where I was able to get his picture.

It's been a while since I've been able to get photos, but I do have a lot of shots still to share. This time a Downy woodpecker.

After a while of seeing them this winter, I finally got a photo of one of the Dark-eyed Juncos that visit my feeders.

A snowy morning looking for shorebirds. I heard a unique bird in the distance and took his picture. Didn't realize he had a fish.

Looking back through my catalog of images since I started Wandering Crane Photography, I found images I took that I have forgotten. They serve to inspire and show me how far I have come.

This is in Kenya during my first trip there, and the place Wandering Crane was born.

A little late of a post, but the meaning is there all the same. Happy New Year to all.

The fog and rain didn't stop frequent visits to my feeders. Here are a few of them:
Tufted Titmouse
Black-capped Chickadee
White-throated Sparrow

At a distance it's easy for me to mistake this Nuthatch as a Chickadee, but when you see the way he moves it quickly becomes clear. Each bird I try to nickname. My Nuthatches are now dubbed Peter Quill. Because his beak looks like the quill of a pen

Another addition to my backyard visitors. This guy is a regular visitor to my feeders. I caught him enjoying a sunflower seed on a cold afternoon.

When life doesn't allow you to travel, just look in your own backyard. Sometimes I am surprised by what I see.

I have received more birds in my backyard since refilling the feeders. Here are two of the visitors I had. Yellow-bellied Sap Sucker and Bluejay

A regular sighting on the Farm. This Northern Fiscal and many others survey the field.

There is something magical when you capture even the most common birds as the snow falls.

I captured this American Robin, when I visited Moraine Park in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.

During a Safari in Nairobi National Park, I spotted a Taita Fiscal. He struck a pose for me.
