p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Bad Week For Mother Nature


Last week was a bad week for Mother Nature. The two GHO Owlets did not survive the nest phase. They both apparently fell from their nest and were not seen again. When I was there last week, the nest had disappeared.....( Not that it was ever a great nest)
The Bald Eagle nest at the Oradell Reservoir also failed. This pair had a habit of leaving the eggs unattended for short time, when nesting previously in past years. Considering they layed eggs around February 15, that spelled disaster, especially with the winter we had.
At least this Osprey was doing well, getting fat for the pending nesting season at Prime Hook.

Yup, someone figured out LR ....nice shots Al...too bad about the owlets and eagles too. I really like the osprey and eagle shots...whites and browns are spot on!

Her selections seem harsh sometimes but Mother Nature has a plan. Very nice of the BE

Sadly, Mother Nature has her ways. It's the last two shots for me too ~ Ron

Thanks Eric;
It was your constructive criticism that motivated me to finally get the PP right and stop screwing up perfectly good photos.

Thanks Tom;
Every time I go out with my camera, I try to capture something unique in nature.
Sometimes it's not always pleasant.

Excellent presentation Al on some tricky light here buddy.
Nice work in finding an opening on #2, great shot.
Super nice balance in the PP on your Eagle, that has good character and a very natural feel, really sweet work on this Al.
Love the windy hair-do on the Osprey, again great shot overall!

Strong set Al........

You're right about Nature Ron. She can be cruel.

Thanks Ken.

I think the GHO's will be back again next year. This isn't their first go-around.

Actually both pairs of Owls and Eagles are very prolific at nesting. They'll be back next year
