However, I’ve always thought of my style of wildlife photography to lean towards publication in some sort of guide book. Much of my youth was spent pouring through field guide after field guide on birds and reptiles and it has undoubtedly had an influence on my work as a nature photographer. So I am pleased that one of my juvenile Black-necked Stilt images from last summer was selected and recently published in the guide Shorebirds of the Northern HemisphereLabels: Book, EPS, Flight Photography, Shorebirds, Technique

First posted on the Tropical Audubon Society’s Bird Board last week, a pair of Least Grebes has recently been located at the Yamato Scrub Natural Area in Boca Raton, Florida. The pair had a nest with two eggs, and the first chick hatched on the morning of September 29, 2008. The second hatched the following morning on September 30th. This is the first documented nest of a Least Grebe in Florida. The Least Grebe is a resident of the Caribbean and is only occasionally sighted in Florida. The last confirmed sighting was in Key Deer National Wildlife refuge in 1988. So it is a thrill for many birders to be able to see this bird in South Florida, let alone to find it breeding here.Labels: Birds, Least Grebe, Rare, Yamato Scrub Natural Area
An image from the June Gallery of the Snail Kites nesting at Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge has recently been published in a book for young readers called “Take A Wetlands Walk” by Jane Kirkland. The book is a great introduction to wetland habitats, animals, and plants. It is part of a series of Take a Walk Books, and can be purchased on Amazon.com. The Snail Kite picture appears on the bottom of page 23.Labels: Arthur Marshall Foundation, Education, EPS, FAU, Loxahatchee, Sisbro, Take A Walk
