Marty’s photo of the day #5180: When Deb and I returned to Port Hardy after a three-year absence, the first thing we did was look for the bald eagles. And there they were! Just where we left them. (Photographed on Vancouver Island.)
When I was six years old and shot my first roll of film, I photographed a bunch of feet. When my dad saw the photos, he threatened to take my camera away. He just didn’t understand what it meant to be creative. Now, as a wildlife photographer, I still love creating uncommon shots—sometimes even feet. […]
These may look like golden eagles, but they are actually immature bald eagles. Earlier today, I featured an action shot of these two squabbling over a perching spot on the intertidal zone. Here’s another shot from that sequence of photos. (Photographed earlier this month on Vancouver Island.)
Marty’s photo of the day #5176: I saw more bald eagles earlier this month on Vancouver Island than I have seen collectively in my entire life. I enjoyed shooting action photos as they interacted among themselves and other bird species. Here’s one of those shots, featuring two immature bald eagles in a spat over a […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5164: I just love the far northern, Port Hardy, region of Vancouver Island! I’ve explored all seven continents, and this is the best area for birds I’ve seen. One reason is because the tides here are so extreme. Some bays go from ten feet deep to hundreds of acres of […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5161: The last time Deb, Nellie, and I visited Port Hardy on the northern tip of Vancouver Island, the many raptors cruising the tidal plain were the highlight of our stay. This time they are even better. Yesterday, I photographed a pair of adult bald eagles and this immature bald […]
Marty’s photo of the day #5058: Deb and I are returning to Vancouver Island in the fall. I photographed the bald eagle the last time we were there.
Marty’s photo of the day #4551: I saw quite a few bald eagles last month on Vancouver Island and concentrated on photographing them in flight. Usually I’d see them far away, eating a fish on a spit of land, and start photographing them with my largest lens (I don’t use a big honking lens because […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4516: While on Vancouver Island, I saw quite a few bald eagles. I wanted to get a shot of one in flight, but that was a challenge. Usually I’d see them far away, eating a fish on a spit of land, and start photographing them with my largest lens (I […]
Marty’s photo of the day #3117: Damn! I was trying to photograph this swift, and a bald eagle got in the way, screwing up my focus and everything. (Photographed in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana)
Marty’s photo of the day #2838: I have a relative who is everything Donald Trump. Arguing with her is fruitless, but you would think some right-wing conspiracy theories would be so obviously wrong that even right-wingers could see it. One of the conspiracy theories she argues for is that Rachel Carson’s book “Silent Spring” was […]
