A rain filled Summer
Jul//2009
I must say it has been a rain filled summer so far, it seems that every other day the forecast calls for “cats & dogs” falling from the sky. For a wildlife photographer this is not exactly what I want, however you make the best of it and try to get out on the days when the sun is shining and with some luck you have a subject to photograph.
A few highlights from the past two months can be view on my Summer Photos gallery have been Piping Plovers, Green Heron, Chimney Swift nest, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Box Turtle, and a trip with Norman Smith as he banded Ospreys this week.
An update on our shorebird video is all good news. Last month we were able to get some VERY good video footage of two Piping Plover nest one of which we made two return trips. The last of which yielded one hours worth of footage of four Piping Plover chicks less then two day old. Plus this weekend Jim Grady and I are off to Plymouth Beach to get some additional video for this project and later in August I hope to be at Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay for even more video footage. If all goes well we may be able to start editing all of our interviews, bird footage as well as other b-roll footage by late November.
That’s all for now, hope you are enjoying your “soggy summer”, if not just think of how much snow we will have in a few short months and that might make you feel just a little bit better. Then again maybe not, for you I say just enjoy my Summer Photos and maybe August will be not so wet.
Until next time take care.
