Great Blue Heron Bow Lake Dam Strafford, New Hampshire This bird was predictably found at this sight every time I went for several weeks. At the base of the dam it often stood there so still, not to be noticed unless it moved, blending in with its background and the fast flowing water of the dam. |
Great Blue Heron The same bird as the previous photo, with one of the many bass it caught day after day. |
Great Blue Heron Newmarket, New Hampshire Town Landing. I never tire of shooting these birds |
Scarlet Tanager Photographed this partially molted tanager in the tree tops at a friend's house in Strafford, New Hampshire August |
Savannah Sparrow Concord, New Hampshire Public Gardens. This is a large gardening area where the town rents plots for individuals to garden in. With all different people planting this area, it draws a wonderful selection of birds, especially for the fall harvest when birds are passing through on their migration. |
Belted Kingfisher In Concord, New Hampshire there is a small pond between Wal-Mart and The Gateway Mall. The pond draws a variety of ducks, geese, occasional egret, kingfishers, swallows, Great Blue Herons, Green Herons, blackbirds and other species as well as some hunting hawks. This kingfisher was being dive bombed by tree swallows when I took this photo. |

Tornado Victums Who would ever have thought there would be a tornado in Northwood, New Hampshire? The July 24th tornado wiped out miles and miles of land and buildings as it cut its path across several towns. Route 4 was closed down for about a week, if I remember correctly. I just happened to pick the right time to see how far I could get on the Deerfield end of Rt. 107 this evening, when they were lining cars up to let them tour through the area for the first time. These crows, I think an adult and a young, were among the displaced, sitting in a remaining tree, in the rubble across from Northwood Lake. |

Cedar Waxwings Concord, New Hampshire Winter months were good for finding flocks of waxwings around the city on crab apple trees and ornamental pear trees which have winter berries for them to eat. You sometimes see them on the ground acting drunk, after gorging on over ripened berries. |

Mother & Child I met these two people in Northwood, New Hampshire while I was checking out one of my regular shooting spots. A Very nice lady from another state. |
Chipper A nice little adopted dog that I took care of for a while, while a neighbor was hospitalized. Chipper has since passed away. |

Pine Grosbeak This is a winter bird for us, following the food source south in the winter in small flocks of 6, 8, maybe 10 or more, we do not see them often. They certainly are a joy to watch. This is a male. |
