I visited Weehawken, New Jersey on July 4 to photograph the annual Macy’s fireworks display. The fireworks were moved from the East River to the Hudson River for 2009 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s exploration of the river which was later named for him.

In late April, I once again visited a few locations in Florida to photograph Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia). I visited both Marco Island and Cape Coral, but found the greatest success in Cape Coral.
Burrowing Owls certainly can be found in other areas as well, but Cape Coral and Marco Island have a fairly high concentration of actives nests which are accessible, and the community supports the protection of this species.
These sites are public areas where photographing the owls can be accomplished without disturbing neighboring residents. A long lens of at least 600mm allows photographing from a distance which does not disturb the birds.
