Fun news! My double rainbow with lightning photo from Badlands National Park was selected "Picture of the Week" and published on Slate.com. The author, Phil Plait, writes a column called "Bad Astronomy" and said my photo is "one of the best ones I’ve seen" of a lightning and a rainbow.

I walked right by this Great Horned Owl, not seeing it even though I was looking for it!

Wood Ducks

April 17, 2014

Great guesses on what bird was in the tree!

The answer - Wood Duck! I've seen a male and female twice this week and both times they were in the tree waiting their turn to get to the seeds below the bird feeders.

Enjoy!

Guess This Bird

April 16, 2014

Never thought I'd see this bird in a tree, but sure enough, yesterday morning I saw this male bird in a tree.

Do you know what bird this is? Post your guess on my Wallner Photography Facebook page or on Twitter @WallnerPhotos.

I'll share photos tomorrow showing what bird it is.

Total Lunar Eclipse Photos

April 15, 2014

Very Cool! Well worth standing in the 25 degree weather to get photos... Though I could have done without the raccoons trying to sneak up on me the entire time.

Here's a white-breasted nuthatch from Bear Lake, Minnesota, who grabbed a little bite to eat from a bird feeder and flew to a nearby branch to eat it.

Petey the Pileated Woodpecker

April 8, 2014

Ever since learning there was a woodpecker larger than the red-headed woodpecker, which at that point in my life was the only woodpecker I had paid much attention to, I've tried to locate and photograph the Pileated Woodpecker.

They are very elusive and it seemed I was never in the right place at the right time. They always seemed to show up just before sunset when the light wasn't to my advantage, which makes for one blurry photo.

So here, are two pics of the Pileated Woodpecker (aka Petey, a...
