Stewart Lake - Wildlife
Apparently I have a knack for spotting perched hummingbirds, and running into neighbors on the trail of our local park. The last time I went for a photo walk I caught a shot of a perched hummingbird and then met a fellow that lives near us. We spoke for a while and was kind of pleasant. Today I took the same walk, caught two perched hummingbirds and spoke to a different neighbor at just about the same spot as last time. Again, it was a very enjoyable experience. I should walk in the park more often... #hummingbird #bird #Trochilidae #birding #stewartlake #stewartcountypark #danecounty #danecountyparks #wisconsin #wisconsinwildlife #wisonsinbirding #birdingwi #hike #park #trail #mounthoreb #wisconsinlife

Instead of really moving around to a lot positions for shooting today I tried a little patience. While I sat comfortable on a hill over looking a wide, prairie restoration, thin clouds veiled the sky casting a soft glow. I enjoyed an apple as I sat there, just watching and looking at the scene before me. Knowing that's how many wildlife photographers capture an image I figured I'd give it a spin. It wasn't as strenuous as some of the hikes I've taken, but it gave me a chance to really think as I waited for something to happen. Feeling relaxed, and happy with another photo I'd taken, I was just thinking it was time to walk home. Then this little guy perched in front of me.

Day 1 - Bandit at 9 O'Clock High!
A Hummingbird takes a dive at a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk On my first morning hiking I was slowly making my way across the small prairie section when I noticed all the little birds were gone. Slowly turning I found this guy sitting not more than 25' (~8 m). I aimed my camera for about 15 minutes at it when suddenly a hummingbird came swooping in!

Freja catches a large grasshopper for the first time. Being that the weather was rather cool it didn't move very much, making it easier to be examined closely.
