Winter Wildlife Part 1

Hey Hey its Al with a new seasonal them for Wednesdays for winter called Winter Wildlife Wednesday. I will be doing this theme throughout the winter months.

These pictures for this week are from an outing that I did with the Walkabout Al D and he has different posts about this trip and the winter captive pars 1 & 2 on his blog but I am doing something totally different on my blog this year for the winter months.

When me and my mentor adventured down to Jordan Lake for a sunset shot that day, We saw many Double Crested Comorants , which typically like this part of Jordan Lake.

We also managed to see tons of seagulls along with hearing a passing great blue heron, which we did not get a chance to photograph it because it was too far away from us to see it or get any photographs of it.

Hope everyone is enjoying 2020 so far, I am enjoying it a lot and hope to get more wildlife pictures during the winter this year and hopefully my prediction for snow this year is right for the first time and we get one big snow storm in 2020 from the past couple of years.

Welcome back to another adventure in this weeks Step Into Nature on my blog. Let's see what is going on for this post this week on Thursday. This is a Red Headed Woodpecker, i also photographed at Jordan Lake with the master mind Al D while on a sunrise shot with him. I got several shots of both Female and Male Red Headed woodpeckers on this dead tree along side of the shore of Jordan Lake . We often don't see these very often in central parts of North Carolina but at the Lakes of Central North Carolina, you can see them and photograph them as well. This is a Carolina Anole, I photographed at the Botanical Gardens with the marvelous walkabout trying to find lots of subjects to photograph there. We photographed many Carolina Anoles, hummingbirds and many other subjects at the Botanical Gardens. Carolina Anolies are very cool to photograph when you find them espicaily at Nc Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. This is a baby Cropes Grey Tree Frog which I also photographed at NC B

I decided to make a silhouette against the colors of the sunrise conditions with the Great Egret in front of the reflection of the sunlight on the water at Jordan Lake.

This turtle was warming its self with the sun on the bank and I got many pictures of that as well. This is a Garden Spider, I photographed with walkabout at Gold Park in Hillsbrough. Garden Spiders are very cool to photograph in this area of central of North Carolina. This a Osprey, I also photographed at Jorda
