Updated Menu for the Blog and Website

Site News:
I've implemented new drop-down menu code for the blog and the website which I hope will make navigation easier for visitors. It relies less on smaller boxes which can be challenging to mouse through with the cursor and adds a larger background field which permits more options than the previous menu. In general this newer menu should allow visitors to quickly access the images and information that interest them most.

Photography News:
Early August of this year I submitted five images for a photo contest at Ridgefield NWR (Friends of Ridgefield) and recently got a call that one of those images placed in their annual contest! I'm not sure what place the image earned but will find out on Oct 10th, 2009 when they are officially announced during the Birdfest and Bluegrass Festival. The images are shown below (click for larger version), image number 5 (Savannah Sparrows on Teazle) is the one that placed in the contest. The placing may be first, second, third, or one of nine honorable mentions.

01) Osprey Chased Out of Red-Tail Territory


02) Robin with Tree Frog for its Fledgling


03) White-Breasted Nuthatch with Food for Nestlings


04) American White Pelican Feeding Circle


05) Savannah Sparrows on Teazle

  1. Just a quick update, the fifth image of the Savannah Sparrows on Teazle won an honorable mention in the contest. The Friends of Ridgefield link in the above post will take you to their site where you can view the contest results and all of the great pictures from the photographers that placed this year.
