This is the first good wildlife photo I took. Back when I considered myself solely a landscape photographer, I rounded a bush to find this flock of cowbirds. This is the photograph that started it all.
A fawn, fearful yet curious, stares into my eyes from not more than 5 meters away. Read the full story here.
Monarch butterflies rest in the furrows of forgotten fields.
Painted turtles are great. What a smile.
I love these photos. The light was perfect as I waited, crouched, in the meadow. Sparrows and warblers were all around, and the longer I waited the closer they came to me.
Tree swallows are a common sight in the prairies of south-eastern Wisconsin. They feed on insects high in the air and return to their houses, built by reserve volunteers, to feed their young.
Yellow warblers are a common sight, but elusive and wily. I just barely managed to get this shot before it flew off, not to be seen again.
As I stepped out of my car, I saw an eastern kingbird watching me from atop a signpost. The bright, overcast day allowed me near-perfect lighting for these portraits.
