Did you know that there are pelicans in Indiana? I've been photographing the American White Pelican for well over 10 years, and just recently discovered them in Indiana. Follow this link to read more. https://t.co/a10KTdv6Jh

Wintered over in Indiana this year. I've been photographing the Sandhill Cranes at Brookville Lake. Here's a link to an article I just posted on my website. https://t.co/4SyMOrpOFT

So, started writing a short post for Facebook and Twitter this morning and my fingers went crazy. Now, I have a new blog post for all to read.

A juvenile American Bald Eagle perched on a dead tree stump in the Upper Mississippi River near La Crosse, Wisconsin. An older photo of mine taken with a long gone Nikon camera. This was one of my first bald eagle photos. #birds #BirdsofPrey #birdphotography

Two female Northern Flickers battle over a nest while the male of the attacking female watches. At one point, the attacking female forced herself halfway into the nest but ejected her egg into mid-air. After that, she lost the desire to take the nest. #birdsphotography #birds

A Brown Pelican moves into open water around St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge trying to get away from other pelicans wanting to steal the crab in its pouch. #birds #photography #Pelicans #birdsinflight #SonyAlpha

@jimnixaustin Should have been shooting little things myself today. Totally overcast skies making for dull, lifeless wildlife photos. Spent the day working on the portfolio instead.

I got several good wood stork in flight photos the other day, but this is my favorite bird. He (or she) had a very colorful beak that looked like a hand painted piece of art. #birds #photography #woodstork #birdsinflight #SonyAlpha

@HenriMcAlister Mother Nature can put on some spectacular shows. The tricky part is to have my camera in the right place at the right time.

After overcast skies and a pending sunset killed my bird photography, I moved to another site in hopes of a good sunset. This was one of those sunsets where every time I thought I was done and returned to my truck, the skies would turn even more beautiful. #florida #sunset

Was out at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge yesterday. I'm not sure what bird protocol was violated here, but these two Snowy Egrets seemed particularly upset with each other. #SonyAlpha #photography #birdphotography

Been learning some new photo processing techniques. This photo was taken at the Yellow Mounds in Badlands National Park in 2018 and believe it or not, it was a rejected photo. With the new techniques, pulled out my second favorite photo from the trip. #Badlands #photooftheday

Found a flock of around 100 wood storks at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Posted some photos and a short article on my blog. https://t.co/xuYEVeXLzN

@jimnixaustin Wish I could get into the flow of Luminar. I watch your videos. Have had Luminar for five years or so. Not even sure when I first got it. It's just an awkward program for me. Can blow through a Lightroom edit in a minute or two. I'll keep trying with Luminar.

Learning new post-processing techniques from photographer Serge Ramelli . Am posting for a reason though. Applied for a position as Chief Exploration Officer with Michelob Ultra Pure Gold. A perfect fit for my lifestyle as a nomad photographer/videographer. #puregoldceo #promo

Was looking for wildlife to photograph on Bottoms Road near Panacea, Florida yesterday. Collected all of this trash along the way. Mostly discarded plastic along with some aluminum cans. The marshes along Bottoms Road are so beautiful. So sad to see the trash. #plasticpollution

Went for a walk on the beach in Carabelle, Florida last week. Found about three pounds of plastic in the sand including two discarded fishing nets. #plasticpollution

Back in my favorite spot in Florida. Snuggled in the forest between Apalachicola National Forest and St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Other than Hurricane Sally causing me to move to high ground for a few days, it's been great to be back in the area.

New post explaining why I now blog under my own name and discontinued using the name Digital Photography Mastery.
