SNOWY EGRET FISHING IN POINT DUME
This video clip I also shot at Point Dume, with the 7D and a 300mm lens. In fact, I actually got this clip by accident because I wasn’t really watching what I was getting. Ordinarily I would have tried to have a tripod with a shot like this, but on this particular day I forgot it. This is why it’s so shaky. Imagine my surprise though, when I realized what I had captured on video!!!
I’ve found, on multiple occasions, that nature will surprise you when you’re least expecting it. With this in mind, I’d suggest keeping the cameras rolling and…oh yeah…bring a stinking tripod!

We were supposed to be on a whale watching trip. At least that was the plan. But guess what? No whales. Well, there were two humpbacks way in the distance, but we won’t count them cause’ I couldn’t really share it with you all. It was looking like a really grim birthday in the Channel…

During a hiking trip out to California’s central coast, one might be surprised at the amount of wildlife that thrives right out in the open and in the strangest of places. Avila Beach, a mere 160 miles from Los Angeles, provides many of these kinds of surprises (and videos). Surrounded by gentle green sloping hills,…

Talk about your ecological nightmares! As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, Senator Feinstein, Dem-CA, recently proposed to divert water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to central Californian farmers, putting the delicate survival of the Chinook Salmon of the San-Fran Bay area in a death-spiral to extinction. This of course would put pressure on…
HAWKS IN POINT DUME VIDEO

I was out and about , around sunset and happened across these hawks. As you can see they almost appear to be in some sort of mating ritual. Go figure! Very cool footage though, using only a 50 mm lens. They were flying pretty darned close to me. Maybe next time I’ll have a longer…

Poking around in tide pools has turned out to be one of my favorite activities here in LA. At the risk of sounding a little like Forrest Gump, I will say that on these little adventures you never know what you’re going to get. This was especially true in as well. Hiking at low tide…
MONARCH BUTTERFLIES PODCAST

This particular day, I was expecting to see the butterflies down low and close to the ground. I thought they were going to be big and resting on flowers or something more bushy. Instead I was surprised to find them chilling out on a large Eucalyptus tree. Again, I forgot the tripod for good video. …
