Glenrose State Park

ByKeith Crabtree January 6, 2011January 10, 2011

Drove down to Glenrose at lunch on Sunday for our favorite Bar-B-Q, Hammond’s. Lunch was wonderful, but we were a little sad, no peanut butter pie today. Then off to Glenrose State Park to see what we could see. Driving through the park we didn’t see much wildlife action, I wondered if we were going to see anything. We decided to stop and walk around the picnic area. Patti and Morgan went one way and I headed a different direction. It did not take long before Patti yelled out Cedar Wax Wing. I headed over her direction and I spotted a Brown Creeper working its way up a tree, it is a lot of fun to watch and it is fast. We spent the next hour photographing Cedar Wax Wings, Goldfinches and a mystery bird, yet to be determined.

Backyard Drama

ByKeith Crabtree July 28, 2016

It was a warm summer evening, no it was not, and it was hot and muggy. I decided to do some yard work, but that did not happen. As soon as I stepped into the backyard, it started to sprinkle, not much, but enough to make me take pause for a moment. I heard the…

The image was from last year. It was March 21, 2013, when I saw several or should I say hundreds of Cedar Waxwings in my front yard. It was a wonderful time. ISO 800 1/1000 sec at f/5.6 190 mm.

Rule no 1

ByKeith Crabtree January 21, 2011

Always carry your camera and this is why. I spotted this Red-Shouldered Hawk from across the freeway. I almost went on home, because I was thinking that the hawk would fly away before I got over there. But, I decided to go for it. The hawk allowed me to take several shots before lift off….

Bobcat at Old Bison Ranch

ByKeith Crabtree September 2, 2010September 4, 2010

Patti and I went to Old Bison Ranch Sunday afternoon. The clouds were doing interesting things and you never know what kind of wildlife you will get to see. Patti commented that she would like to see a Bobcat. I said maybe early in the morning or late in the evening. Well, I was wrong…
