Wings over Michigan
Photo of the Month


April's photo of the month is of Red Necked Phalaropes
Phalaropus fulicaria
Photo by Art Osborn, Toledo, Ohio Copyrighted and used with photographer's permission.

Photo taken with Nikon N50, Tamron 70-300 with 2x teleconverter, Kodak 400 film, hand held from dike in strong wind that enabled me to walk up to birds.

The birds, sun and wind were just right at Harrow Sewage Lagoons, Ontario, May 29, 1999. A prompt posting from ONTbirds list server helped too.

Have you taken a bird or nature photograph
that you're proud of?

Want to show it off?

Well here's your chance!




Once a month I will choose a photo from the those sent to me and feature it here on this page. Scan your photo and send the gif., jpg., bmp. file to me via e-mail as an attachment. Include in your letter the file name (ie. flicker.jpg), your name (you want me to give you credit, don't you?), species in the photo, location, story behind the photo (there's always a good story!), camera, lenses, film used etc.

If you don't have access to a scanner, e-mail me and we'll make arrangements for you to get your photo to me by snail mail. Photos returned
upon request.
