Eagles at Conowingo Dam, MD

Eagles congregate at the dam because the fish are plentiful on the lower side of the dam. Black vultures are mixed in with them. Even a cat!

The Frogs of Rock Oaks

I showed a property for sale called "Rock Oaks" in Philadelphia on over an acre and was delighted to find a frog pond in the side yard. I went back later to photograph the frogs.

Kitten Caturday

2011-08-24T08:27:57Z

I was asked if I knew anyone who could foster a feral cat who was about to have kittens, so I said "yes, I'll do it". The mother cat was taken to the vet and the next day she had four kittens. When they were five days old, momma and the kittens moved in to my house.

Caturday, Cosey and the faucet

My faucet sprang a leak which Cosey discovers and tackles with skill.

Flowers for Caturday

I brought home a vase of flowers and Gratey took immediate interest in sniffing and eating them. He likes his greens... and yellows, pinks and purples.

Wonderful Warblers

2010-06-01T05:10:40Z

I have a small waterfall and pond in my backyard which became a stopover for migrating warblers for about two weeks in May. It was quite a sight when I was able to watch one warbler after another drop in to drink, bathe, preen and forage for insects. I would slip out the back door and try to photograph them. Many were very cooperative and some I could never capture on "film".

Toad Detour Year Two (see Ap. 1, 2009)

2010-03-28T05:21:02Z

The Roxborough reservoir (northwest Philadelphia)is the destination for the neighboring toads who are awakening from winter and heading there to lay eggs and have them fertilized. It's a tough journey and they need our help. Last year the toads starting crossing the busy roads on Mar. 26 so the Toad Detour Project volunteers planned to barricade the roads starting then. After five warm days and then several inches of warm rain, the toads rallied early and their mass migration started on Mar. 22. An emergency email was sent out and volunteers helped over 600 toads cross safely. The migration continues and volunteers are welcome to sign up to help at ToadDetour.com.
