- Marooned beneath the embers of daylight. Sometimes the still, in front of a sunset, just taking in the nothingness, can be a soothing reprieve from it all. - A Sunset moment with Ospreys Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Reserve

Headed out to Edward B Forsythe Wildlife Refuge recently hoping to pic up a few straggling Spring migratory shorebirds. After scoping through several species of tern/gulls off the shoreline, I notice one, unlike the rest. Turns out it was a Gull-billed tern. Made my day for sure.

Following trip out to Mills Creek Marsh featured a few stunning Snowy Egrets.

Eagles on the Hudson🦅 Bald eagles are on the ice on the Hudson River during winter primarily to hunt for fish and conserve energy. I was fortunate enough to observe and capture some of their behavior amid the fury of ice floes and deep freeze. What an exhilarating experience!
