Freyburg Photos

tmiksch — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 16:41:47 +0000

I took these pictures while on my way to the farm. The turkeys were about 30 yards away from my truck. I took the pictures with my handheld camera while in the truck. The picture of the small deer was taken from my blind during the season he was about 25 yards away when he jumped the fence and I caught him mid flight.

Birding on the Cheap

gmt — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:23:32 +0000

If I have learned anything from living in the northern half of the United States is that in order to survive winter with my sanity in tact is that I need to eat a lot of kale, take a daily 20 minute walk (no matter how cold) and plan a trip some place warm even if it’s only for 48 hours. Typically, my work life takes me to such places…although last winter it back fired because there was a freak ice storm that nailed the usually warm area I visited and I endured winter pretty much from early Novmeber thru the end of May…and technically June if you count the snow pile in the Sears parking lot that didn’t melt until mid June.

But this winter I played it safe and booked a weekend away to a place that should not have a freak ice storm: the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas where I can grab great looks at birds like Crested Caracaras.

Rare Sea Creature Appears on Seattle Woman’s Dock

Hey, stranger! This guy must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. CREDIT: LDA.

A Seattle resident recently got a big surprise when she discovered a strange-looking furry visitor on her property.

“She woke up and it was lying on her dock, hanging out and sleeping — just chilling,” said Matthew Cleland, district supervisor in western Washington for the USDA’s Wildlife Services, and the recipient of a photo of the bizarre intruder.

“I thought, ‘That’s an interesting-looking creature,’” Cleland told OurAmazingPlanet. “I had no idea what it was.”

A quick glance through a book in his office soon revealed it was a ribbon seal, an Arctic species that spends most of its life at sea, swimming the frigid waters off Alaska and Russia.

Two Days with Whooping Cranes

Larry Ditto — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:55:36 +0000

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I took four other photographers to the Rockport-Fulton area of the Texas coast to photograph endangered whooping cranes on their wintering grounds at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. It’s been a tough winter for the birds, even though there is a record number (over 300) of them in that area.MORE

The Mansfield Wild Pets

I have to make a trip to Port Mansfield to get a glimpse of the friendly pets that hangout in the area. Every time I see photos visitors make I am amazed at how close you can get to them. Who is ready to join me?

My nephew in law shot this buck at La Isla while hanging out with my niece and brother. I think it scored in the 130′s.

Las Islas Buck

gmt — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:34:19 +0000

Here is a nice old buck shot on a wonderfully managed deer lease in deep South Texas. The info came from my brother Pat…Richard Drawe took this buck by bow on Las Islas Ranch on 12-06-11. Definitely old enough (aged at 7.5) and scored 152+.

In case you were wondering, Richard had the cap reversed while hunting so as not to spook the game. He had seen this buck on his game cam pics, but decided to shoot it before all the velvet was cleaned off.
