July's photo is of a Common Loon
family
Photo by Heather Slayton, c. 1999
Taken in Sylvania Recreation area in Michigan's UP. From
a small fishing boat we crept closer and closer and watched while these
devoted parents fed their baby tiny fish they caught for it. They didn't
seem afraid of us at all. We kept our distance and I managed to get a couple
pretty good shots with my 200 mm telephoto.
Have
you taken a bird or nature photograph
that
you're proud of?
Want to show it off?
Well here's your chance!
Once
a month I will choose a photo from the those sent to me and feature it
here on this page. Scan your photo and send the gif., jpg., bmp. file to
me via e-mail as an attachment. Include in your letter the file name
(ie. flicker.jpg), your name (you want me to give you
credit, don't you?), species in the photo, location, story behind the
photo (there's always a good story!), camera, lenses, film used
etc.
If you don't have access to a scanner, e-mail me and we'll make arrangements
for you to get your photo to me by snail mail. Photos returned upon request.
