    Bird I.D.

    I spotted this at Great Bay on Saturday. Can anyone confirm if this is a Harris Hawk? Not the greatest shots. I was driving about 30 mph at the time it was closest. Hello... :mrgreen: These guys tend to sit still allot more than hawks.

    Planning A Built Enviroment

    With the Wal Mart, cookie cutter housing developments and 'smart growth' going on all around, I thought I would share two videos that I recently watched. This might be absolutely boring to some of you but for me and perhaps some others it might be useful to digest. Some of the points brought up...

    Mergansers, Mallards and Marsh Hawk

    This week exploring some new places, I came upon some Hooded Mergansers. I made a short VIDEO. They manage to stay just to the limit of my lens but I got a few decent shots. Also, mallards and a marsh hawk I found seeking shelter on a windy day. You can find the large sizes HERE. Enjoy.

    Phragmites

    I have heard mentioned on this forum that phragmites is an invasive species. Reading this wikipedia article seems to muddy the matter and contradict this. Visiting Wells Mills lately I noticed a very small patch right next to the dock by the cabin (3'x6'). There is no other area of the lake...

    Earthen Damn at Stafford Forge Burst

    The culvert that drains one of the upper lakes at Stafford Forge has been clogged and half the dam had fallen away this past spring. The immediate response by the state was to pile earth up as barriers so people would not drive over the damn and they left it to slowly crumble over the summer...

    Colliers Mills

    I had some business up north and planned a stop along the way at Colliers Mills. My plan was to make it out to Lake Success, but time did not allow. It was a nice stop and brilliant fall colors everywhere. I made THIS SET if you want to see larger sizes. I think the groundhog was hit by a car or...

    Time Lapse Photography

    Not really piney stuff, but posting here to share with my piney photographer friends. I will post future time lapse projects in this thread. I went to Providence Rhode Island this weekend for RISD alumni weekend and the Waterfire festival. I shot some time lapse sequences. Enjoy.

    Norman Scarecrow

    I drove by this in Stafford today. I had to stop and take a pic. I actually went to early elementary school in Lenox Mass (home of Norman Rockwell), so Norman has a special place in my heart.

    Water Level 9,40m ... Video

    The night before there seemed to be heavy rain and too much of the pollen were flushed in the water and were floating. So the visibility could be much better, i´ve missed the "crystal clear" water. The Green Lake got its name from its emerald green, crystal-clear water. At the foot of...

    Gobble Gobble

    I have been seeing these adults for weeks now. A few weeks ago some young ones appeared. I finally saw them close enough to the road to just slow down and take some pictures from the car. Not the greatest lighting, but I don't think I will have another opportunity this close. This was on Rt 610...

    It is that time of year again. I thought I would share a great tracking/imagery resource. Check out the different satellite imagery in the upper right corner and notice you can see all storms world wide listed by region on the left. Naval Research Lab - Monterey Marine Meteorology Division

    Humming Trumpets

    I have a trumpet vine on a tree on my property. I tried a few times last year to catch these moments on my point and shoot camera with no luck. A few hours of camping out on an eight foot step ladder with the 300mm lens have paid off. Large sizes found here. These blooms go through the most...
