Tumalo Falls

Once again, I had a business trip in central Oregon. This time after work I drove out 15 mi west of Bend to photograph Tumalo Falls. 2:00PM – ISO 80 – 1/10th – f8.0. I wish I had my 5D and a tripod!

Nankeen Danny?

I spotted what looked like a Danny in a red turtleneck the other day; this is a 1st. From what very little research I’ve done, I believe it’s a Nankeen Night Heron. I can’t imagine what he’s doing way out here. Must be the presence of so many ducklings on the lagoon. For night herons, …

When the Snowy Egret is stressed from work (lots of Egret politics), he goes fishing to relax. He does not practice catch and release though.
