Awesome week on Hatteras Island. 71 species of birds, long walks on the beach, visits to Bodie Lighthouse, Pea Island and Little Kinnakeet. I’ve combined some images and video shot with a Canon 5D. Sorry for the length…I tried hard to delete stuff down to a reasonable length but it still seems a bit long.

Took Aurora camping at Itasca State Park this past weekend. Really enjoyed walking in the water and collecting rocks.
Spent the weekend camping at a local state park. 3 mile walk, 34 bird species and a great workout for a grandson.
Also found our first spring wildflowers.
Tina and I are finally home. In the course of the last week, we experienced 85 degree temps in Orlando and 45 degree night temps in Indiana. Thursday, we drove a long 600+ mile day, itching to sleep in our home bed after 6 weeks in the camper. Traveling north, we watched the fall leaves change very quickly. We paused for a few minutes in western Wisconsin to enjoy the colors, having missed the gradual change that happens this time of year.

I have been asked by several people, (well OK lots), if I take pictures of other things besides birds. Identifying birds has become a real hobby for us, but learning photography (thanks Jeff) is still a passion.
Here are several different shots I took one day in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
