Duck Blind View
10MAR2013 Duck Blind View Nothing but the Trumpeter Swans remain on the lake....it was as if they were asking each other...where they all going? One point five million Geese at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge last month. Have a great Sunday, thanks for looking.....please leave me a comment.
15FEB2013 Crazy Sky A clearing of the lake from our point of view with the lens at 100mm. The light is always changing as is the focal point.....plus just add the serious wow factor of nature in action and one could understand the difficulty of getting a great image from a place like this. Please visit your Refuge soon, sign the guest book as some of these places get there funding by public participation. Thanks for the great comments and questions....TGIF! Hi Kristy....see i can come up with those crazy wildlife images too.
14FEB2013 Clear Lake Only the trumpeter Swans are left as the lake clears itself of Geese, another mass lift-off that send the lake to the sky. The shadow the wave of geese cast over us is much like a solar eclipse....with lots of noise. If you have not experienced this in your lifetime go soon.....its something you don't soon forget. I have put a new video up in my video bin on my homepage.....the geese make a tornado right before your eyes.....AMAZING....truly, go look at it! Thanks for all your wonderful comments....visit your Refuge today. Happy Valentines Day!
13FEB2013 One Million Plus Went down to Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge yesterday......lots to see! These are Canadian Geese, there were over six hundred trumpeter swans too.... Just before the mass lift-off there seems to be a lot of discussion in the pond about just that......then from almost total silence they start and it sounds like a freight train coming toward you, the sky goes dim and all you hear is the birds wings flapping, totally astonishing. Its forty degrees out and the wind is out of the south at ten to twenty MPH. So we got two goose bombs to the windshield that was the extent of the crap.......literally, i too though it would be everywhere. Also there were no impact deaths from inflight collisions...on our part of the lake, the carnage is laying all over the place though, some caused impact craters two feet in diameter, surely would have killed a human on impact.....in all my years flying thats the scariest thing to go through, a bird strike. Have a great day!
13JAN2013 Final Flight The last flight fly's into the sunset toward the still moving Platte River. Tomorrow I post the crazy sunset that develops before our eyes Friday night....it was staggering.....thanks for all the wonderful comments on the Image I call "Downtown Lights" I enter it in this months photo contest at our local camera club ....the category is night shots. Hope this weekend finds you well....enjoy the rest of it!
14DEC2012 Sunset Flight This was the only set of waterfowl that came over tonight and I was semi set up for their movement across the sky. Downtown Omaha in the distance the lake is starting to ice over, our low temperature the other night of four degrees above zero has placed big patches of ice in the middle of the lake just behind me, the geese have commandeered the floating islands to roost for the night. Our high temperature today was fifty four degrees....one of the best sunsets I have seen in a while.....just staggering! Hope you enjoy this image, my neck is hurting from being down on the rocky icy lakeshore for an hour or so...Please leave me a comment, thanks for all the wonderful comments on my B&W Gristmill yesterday!
