In September 2011 a devastating flood wreaked havoc on the town of Owego, NY. During those few days a concerned citizen found a young snapping turtle, since named Chomper, who had been stranded. He was brought to Waterman Conservation Education Center which became his temporary home. In December 2017, high school senior and licensed rehabilitator, Anna Llewellyn, volunteered to care Read More …
For this Earth Day 2018 I give you scenes from my favorite nature experience of my recent trip to Florida. Take care of this precious planet, it’s the only one we’ve got and it’s pretty amazing! During my two 2017 trips to Florida I had only two opportunities to spend sunset at Bunche Beach. The first time I was rained Read More …
I spent a week in March at a Women Wildlife Filmmakers Workshop at Cocobolo Nature Reserve in Panama. Co-lead by two amazing conservation filmmakers Morgan Heim and Jenny Nichols, the workshop was a very intense week of instruction and hands on experience. For each project we paired up in groups of two. With my partner, Jordan Hoffmaster, our final project Read More …
During the years of 2014-2015, plus a wee bit in 2016 and 2017, I spent countless hours setting up makeshift blinds at Brick Pond Wetland Preserve in the hopes of capturing images of Wood Ducks. What I got was that and so much more. I’ve shared many images from that time but very little video. This week I went through Read More …
When I started planning my April 2017 trip to California I knew Point Reyes would be on the itinerary. Situated on a peninsula along the coast, Point Reyes National Seashore contains more than 1500 species of plants and animals. And it is the best location in the country to see bobcats. I booked a full day safari with Daniel Dietrich Read More …

Since I began photographing Wood Ducks in 2014 I have dreamed of a shot with a drake in nuptial plumage surrounded by ice or snow. Wood Ducks typically migrate south before the first snow falls so it’s not a common sight in upstate New York. In the spring of 2016 we had a deep freeze after the Woodies had returned Read More …
“Find a fall, or cascade, or rushing rapid, anywhere upon a clear stream, and there you will surely find its complementary Ouzel, flitting about in the spray, diving in foaming eddies, whirling like a leaf among beaten foam-bells; ever vigorous and enthusiastic, yet self-contained, and neither seeking nor shunning your company.” -John Muir Meet the American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus) of Read More …
In November 2015 I spent two weeks in Milan, Italy working in a customer integration lab. When I found myself with two days off I did what I’m certain anyone else would do. I searched online to find an inn high up in the Alps near a fast moving mountain stream. I was going to seek out the White-throated Dipper! Read More …
