Sandhill Crane : These images of one and two day old chicks were taken near my home in Sanford, Florida. I visited the nest for 20 consecutive days, both early AM and late PM. Finally on Sunday morning I observed two adults at the next site and when the one on the nest got up, there was the first chick and one egg in full view. Later that day the chick was 70 yards from the nest..

Caterpillars : Photgraphing these caterpillars is challenging. One of the biggest problems is employing enough DOF and speed so all is sharp. Then you need to achieve a non-distracting blurred background. All images are for sale. Most original tiffs are at least 65 MB. Contact me regarding pricing. Latest update 09/14/09

Animals of Montana 2009 : All images were taken at Animals of Montana in January 2009. Thanks to Troy Hyde for training these creatures so well. I used a 1DM3 Canon camera and mostly a 70-200 IS f4 lens with a 1.4x teleconverter and to a lesser degree a 300IS f2.8 plus 1.4x. Although I did bring a tripod, I found I liked the freedom and flexibility of hand holding and being able to respond and change my position to be at eye level to these maginificent creatures. This proved to be a tremendous advantage in capturing images. All images are at least 50 MB in size and can be ordered as large as 16x 24 inches on request.
