Burrowing Owl Chick
These little chicks are everywhere in Cape Coral, Florida this time of year. This paticular chick was the bravest of all it's siblings hanging mostly outside the nest. This is a great time of year for photographing birds with migration and chicks hatching the oppertunities seem endless. Click on the link below to see more of these owls on my website.

I captured this Willet getting attacked while trying to catch some breakfast. That little crab put up a good fight but lost the battle.

Blue Screen of Death
Sunday my computer had a hissy fit and flashed me the blue screen of death (I have not seen that in years). Monday I was able to get the computer back on and stable enough to diagnose the problem (thanks google chrome for the scare) I discovered it's been 2 years since I've done a full back-up so I'll be offline till I get everything cleaned and backed-up :)

Roseate Spoonbill
I found this beautiful bird at sunrise on one of my favorite beaches. They get their pink color from eating crustaceans that have fed on algae. It's hard to believe that people used to make fans from their wings.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)

I don't think any of us will. This weekend was a long one for us. We had a great time with the Scrub Jays. They landed on all of our heads.

I took this shot as Ozzy flew from the nest looking for Harriet. A crowd forms everyday to get a glimpse of their young. If you'd like to see them click here for the web cam http://www.ustream.tv/SouthwestFloridaEagleCam

Cover Image Hidden Photo Challenge!

Okay, long post, but it's worth it, trust me...

So I've finally upgraded my profile to cover image and I have to say it took ages to create (just look at how it lines up with other elements in the G+ profile page - sweet!). However, I've done something else with my cover image that I've not seen anyone else do. There is another image hidden in plain sight behind my profile photo that will only be revealed by clicking the cover image. Go on, click it, you know you want to! So those of you who've been looking at the back of my head for the past year and a half now know what I look like ;)

It occurred to me whilst doing this that I could have been much more creative with my two photos and told a short story. Perhaps a profile image of me pointing at something and the hidden image revealing what it is. Or a profile... more »

Red-breasted Merganser
I can't believe it's been so long since I've played online.
This photo was taken at one of my favorite beaches. I love this time of year. It's so much fun photographing birds I don't get to see all year long.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)

Spotted Sandpiper
This is a beautiful time of year in Florida for birding. I've been having a great time trying to capture these beautiful birds before they end their vacations and go back up north.

Peek-a-Moo
Today on my blog www.megrousher.blogspot.com I wrote about my visit to the Alva Scrub Preserve. We went for a bird count but as you can see the camera liked animals more this day. I've been finding great locations through:
Bird Patrol ~ http://www.birdpatrol.org
Conservation 2020 ~ www.conservation2020.org
Check your city/county website to see what you can find

Hope everyone is having a great week :)

Wolf Spider
(Corkscrew Swamp, Naples Florida)
After photographing this beautiful spider I had to learn more about her. She is unique in the way that she carries her eggs. The egg sac, a round silken globe, is attached to the spinnerets at the end of the abdomen as seen here. This  allows the spider to carry her unborn young with her. The abdomen must be held in a raised position to keep the egg case from dragging on the ground, however despite this handicap they are still capable of hunting.

Named after it's call "Katy-DID-katy-DIDN'T" made by rubbing it's serrations at the base of it's fore-wings. It can be found throughout Florida in the woods and shrubby fields. I photographed this Katydid at Freedom Park in Naples Florida with +Ray Bilcliff back in June.

Osprey with a fish
Also called a Sea Hawk, Fish Eagle or Fish Hawk. These beautiful birds can be found by any large body of water as fish make up 99% of it's diet. I really enjoy watching these beauties hover over the water and diving for their food. If you get the chance to see one take a few minutes to sit and enjoy the show.

Have a great weekend everyone

Long-billed Curlew
I've been following this beautiful bird for a few days now and yesterday I finally got a capture of it by itself before the rain came. He/She has been mixed in with Willet's and Godwits for days. If you want to see it try Bunch Beach or Bowditch Point.
