Snowy Egret in its peak breeding plumage! This is my first time experiencing these type of displays, and when I say I was in awe, I mean it.

A lot of the time, I was not taking pictures and simply observing these birds doing their mating rituals, because I wanted to take in the experience. I'll be going back to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine again and again in the years to come, as it surely lived up to the hype!

My favorite sparrow, the White-throated Sparrow! One of the best parts about each late fall / winter / early spring in Pennsylvania are seeing these birds!

Officially launching my new “Nature’s Lovers Series!” The first two images you see are from the brand new series, with the intention being to pair a male and female from the same species together. I’m extra excited about this one because of the challenges involved in capturing both male and female birds in specific poses so the composites work to my liking. Probably my hardest project to date, and something I’m very much looking forward to adding to in the future.

The first image is of a male and female Eastern Bluebird, both taken at Norristown Farm Park. The second image is of a male and female Cardinal, taken at Peace Valley Park.

This is my second major series, the first being my “Majestic Flight Series.” Images three onward are from that series.
