Well the Cicadas have been great for practicing my stacking photography and keeping all kinds of birds near by. Here is a hand held about 23 stacked photos of a cicada grub coming out of its shell.

Thank you! We are definitely in the area. When I walk outside you can hear them, it's like a constant roaring noise. The warmer it gets the more they fly and by afternoon you can not walk outside without one landing on you. It freaks out my grandchildren. This is brood XIV or the Bourbon...

Nice shot!

We have been bombarded by Cicadas so I decided I should be able to get a photo of one of them before they are gone. Then I found out my Tokina macro lens would not work with the photo shift shooting in my D850. So, I bought a used Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8GED Macro lens and it works great! It has...

Thanks Woody!

One of the most popular places to bird is over on the road that runs through the outer portion of the prison property, in La Grange, KY. It is a unique property that attracts more wildlife than many of the parks that are run to attract wildlife. It turns out it has a population of Bobolink's...

First photo is the first time I saw a baby emerge from the nest. It's little wing was so tiny. Then there is proud Mama and Mama cuddling and Mama keeping the rain off. Little Junior was pretty awkward starting out. And then I found out there were 3 little juniors and the nest is getting...

Here's the Red Shouldered Hawk, who I believe is the same hawk with a nest on the next street. I have photos of her feeding the babies Cicadas. I'll post those later.

Mississippi Kites in our yard. They were fun to watch. Sometimes the would make spectacular dives and it would look like they were going to hit the ground but would turn at the last minute and soar back up high. They loved circling the trees that had the most cicadas and when they were full...

Our yard seems to be a hot spot for the 2025 Bourbon Brood IXV Cicadas. Which have also brought in much wildlife activity to our yard. I like when I don't have to leave the comfort of my deck to grab some photos. We have had 3 Mississippi Kites hunting in our yard everyday and a Red...

Love the one of the frog. I almost looks like he is sticking his head out of a bubble.

Here are a couple more I took. I am not sure what I am looking at but I think the second one is the little dipper.

I love their blue eyes. I have trouble getting that close in order to capture them. (their eyes that is)

A while back I went to New Mexico to visit my sister. She lives out near El Malpais National Park. ( https://www.nps.gov/elma/index.htm) Which is a place that people from all over the world travel to take pictures of the stars. I have never had much luck taking pictures of the stars. I did...

Thank you, I finally figured out the pictures had exported. I had taken so many photos and they were all put into folders. When I was looking through the folders, for some reason, I was skipping the folder they were in. BIG DUH moment!

Love the wink!

Ours are really late coming back this year. Usually by this time they are well into building or repairing nests. This year their nest is still empty.
