A little more rainbow breath for ya.

More bokeh. Possibly too much. I think that the amount in this shot borders on distracting but I was pushing to get as much as possible around the subject.

Warm temps and rain mean only one thing : Herps! Took the family and friends out last night to watch dozens of Spotted Salamanders make their way to a vernal pool. When the rain let up I was able to get the macro lens on some of these beauties. The tiny frog is a Spring Peeper.

Backlight through bird breath = rainbows? Who knew?!?!

Hold on tight. It’s gonna be wall-to-wall RWBBs for a while! I spent my second consecutive morning at my Blackbird spot, focusing on getting backlit and silhouette shots. Here is one of my favorites.

Blackbird Bokeh

The Red-winged Blackbirds are back at my local marsh, and I vowed to shoot them differently this year, to try and push my creativity. and have been discussing keeping things fresh while shooting the same species at the same location over and over. This morning I decided to incorporate some dew as a foreground bokeh. Lots more to come from this series. Looking forward to pushing myself at this spot in the coming weeks.

Can you feel it? A bit of warmth is creeping in and that means spring migration isn’t far off! I love Warblers and can’t wait to get more shots like this. Male Canada Warbler.

Believe it or not, there were other shorebirds besides Purple Sandpipers at Barmegat last week. I was happy to capture this brief moment when a Ruddy Turnstone stopped moving in really nice light.
