Friday, May 20, 2011. Migration: A Journey Against the Elements. This Eastern Pipistrelle was hanging outside of the women's washroom down at the tip; looking a little chilly. Even the interior of the park was filled with hungry songbirds. It made for amazing viewing and photo opportunities. Note the black-legged tick on the eyering. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tom Preney's Blog: October 2009

Monday, October 26, 2009. For the last few years I have been able to experience the fall migration. It was amazing exploring Snake Road and photographing the large diversity of herpetofauna this wetland has to offer. We found over 30 species of herps (reptiles and amphibians) during each visit to the road. If you are into nature and want to see a natural phenomenon I would recommend a trip to the Shawnee National Forest. While photographing this little frog decided to jump on Steve's tripod.

Monday, May 24, 2010. I'll definitely not pass another morel without picking it- they're just too good. Morels are easily identified, which make them a choice edible. Monday, May 17, 2010. Mute Swans can be easily distinguished from other species of swans from their orange bill and large protruding black knob above the bill. Mute Swans construct large nests in shallow water using aquatic vegetation. The nest in the picture below was constructed from cattails. Sunday, May 2, 2010. I’ve wanted to pho...

Monday, June 20, 2011. Dragonflies: The Aerial Acrobats. Green Darners are one of the 16 known migratory species of dragonflies. These large dragonflies are the first to arrive from Florida and Southern Texas in early spring. My first record for 2010 was on April 2nd at Ojibway Park in Windsor, Ontario. Very little is known about the dragonfly migration because they fly over such a wide-ranging area, making it difficult to track their movements. The Ebony Jewelwing is the only member of this family to oc...

Monday, January 17, 2011. The Royal Botanical Gardens. Choose two of my photographs for their new interpretive signs, cool! The two photographs were taken at the Ojibway Prairie Provincial Nature Reserve. In Windsor, Ontario. Tallgrass Prairie and Oak Savannah are two of the most endangered ecosystems in Ontario. I'm a firm believer that outreach and education is one of the most important things we can do to help. So I am honored to have my photographs on the signs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
