"The Birds"



My bird images from the Texas Gulf Coast shoot in February has finally been narrowed down to 36 photos, cropped square (1:1). Now I need to pick 4-6 to print on metal at 30"x 30" for gallery display.

Whooping Cranes' "Turf" Battle



(Technically flawed photo, but I tried to hide the worst parts because it is so good with respect to subject and action. I think that we all can easily see what is going on here!)

Pelican Fantasies (a short story in three paragraphs and a photo)



Pelican-1: "Coastal Control, this is Pelican-One recon flight. Be advised that I have a crab poacher on the west side of the Intracoastal, in federal waters. Looks like that same male Whooper that we keep busting over here. He doesn't appear to see me overhead, and he does have a crab in his beak at the present time. I'll do a 270-overhead and come back in on a low pass for verification. Please send backup to apprehend suspect."

Coastal Control: "Rodger, Pelican-One. Caspian and Oyster-Catcher flights are inbound to your location. Report rendezvous."

Pelican-1: "Rodger dodger, you old codger .. philco-wilco over and out."
