My favorite bird. I would think that loons would be up north in their home breeding grounds by now, since they aren’t indigenous to PA. Are you sure these aren’t mergansers? Their profile on the water can look similar to a loon’s from a distance. I’ve been fooled a few times. Just curious. If they are loons, I need to get out there and photograph them before they head north.

There is a lot of scenic beauty at Great Falls National Park in Maryland and Virginia but it is always fun to watch and photograph the kayakers as they scout their lines and make their runs through the falls and rapids. Copyright Daniel P. Creighton

Snow Geese Migration 2012 @ Middle Creek WMA

All photos copyright Daniel P. Creighton, 2012

The numbers of snow geese are much lower then many other years at Middle Creek this year but there are still plenty of photo opportunities for the photographer that works the situations as they present themselves.

Tundra swans numbers were pretty steady however.

I am with Marty on number 4. The color transition in the sky is an eye catcher which is followed up with the curving line of geese .

Cool to warm,flight to landing….what a perfect ending!

I’d vote for the 4th photo. That the transparency of the birds’ wings is the same as the tree-tops is striking.

A very nice series of images illustrating the variation of color and form. I give a big thumbs up for the second sunset image. This would most definitely hang on a wall. The first image would work more for me if the boat was a bit more to the left.

The transition of color from cool to warm tones is pleasing to the eye and the subtile blue line that breaks the horizon produces a separation from sky to water.

PS:working on my “art speak”lol

Could be the beginning of a Happy Face?

Don’t worry I gave him a ton of help with those leaves on multiple days. The look on his face when I said- “Wait, I want to climb on the roof” was priceless! LOL
