Hen Scaup

I had a chance to photograph several scaup last week and got several shots that I like.  This female lesser scaup floating on the water that is reflecting the blue sky with puffy white clouds is one that I like.

Nikon D300s, Nikkor 600 mm, f/8, 1/160th second, ISO 250, tripod, fill flash, slight crop.

I started this weekend photographing all the many carvings along the Mississippi Gulf Coast that were carved out of trunks of oak trees left by Hurricane Katrina. These two eagles are in the median of Hwy. 90 that runs along the beach on the Mississippi. These are located in front of the USM college campus in Long Beach, Ms. These two carvings are very large.  Photo by Jeff Impey

 

Shaking it off in flight.

I got a chance to shoot a portrait of a greenhouse frog this morning.  These are small, invasive exotic frogs that are now well established in many parts of the Deep South.
