Sam, Jack, and I went to the Maumelle FourthFest fireworks show Monday night. I made my first ever attempt at fireworks photography and I think some of them turned out okay.
Summer Doldrums 6/26/2011
Summer’s here for sure. It was 79 at 7 this morning and 97 as I write this. Except for an occasional Neotropic Cormorant, I’m seeing the same birds day after day so I’m turning my camera to other things. The dragonflies are starting to get interesting so they are getting my most attention. Here’s a few of my recent images.
New State Bird 6/19/2011
With reports of two Neotropic Cormorants hanging out at Bald Knob NWR, Angie, Lenore Gifford, and I headed there Sunday morning. Flooded for weeks, the refuge was finally accessible again. We found the two birds on a levee between two ponds west northwest of the grain bins. We felt pretty sure we had our birds when a Double-crested Cormorant joined them and made the identification easier. They remained too far away for decent pictures but a few were attempted. Since they were the target birds, they were no surprise but we were surprised to see a flock of 20 American White Pelican flying by.
