Taken on New Years Day photo adventure to Lake Livingston Dam yielded many interesting images. I almost overlooked this one as being too cluttered but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. What do you think?

A couple of years ago we were down along the eastern Texas coast photographing geese and other migratory birds in the area. These geese were circling an area of marshland and coming down to join others already on the ground. I [pulled the truck over to the side of the road and took this video from the truck window.

On a recent trip to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, I recorded this short video early in the morning as the Sandhill Cranes got ready to leave their roosting grounds to forage for food.

Two of my favorite images taken at Bosque del Apache NWR in early Dec. 2025. I would love to make this trip an annual event and ask that other wildlife photographers join to form a group to make this trip. It's such a rewarding and enlightening experience that it would be a pleasure to share it with others in person. Let me know if you would like to make the trip.
