My family and I decided to take a big step on Sunday. Actually – the first part of the step began on Friday evening. I’ve been watching and photographing some birds in a little bog/pond area beside our church in Rockford. I drove over on Friday evening to see what might be in the pond,… Read More

I’ve always wanted to see… and photograph… a Pileated Woodpecker. I’ve only actually seen one once before during a walk in the woods and it scared off well before I could pull out my camera. Two weeks ago, I was finishing my lunch out on the deck – when suddenly a pair of very large… Read More
