New rule: When the growling raccoon is three feet away while you hang out the window at 1 in the morning, it would be a good idea to shut it! (Jane Naliboff photo)A loon at sunset on Hill’s Pond on Weld Rd in Wilton, wails for its mate. It’s a mournful tone, much like a wolf howl. When making this sound, its neck area appears swollen. The bill slightly parted and tongue is extended to the top. Interestingly, the one-week-old chick can already wail, just like its parents.

It’s also showing it had a hard summer. (Jim Knox photo)
What type of camera are you using; digital or film? There is talk around of some going back to film, but I can’t see it in my future again.
Thanks……
Did you see the great egret, Gil?
I’ve been photographing that beaver pond for a decade and I think the egret was the most spectacular wader I’ve seen there.
To amateur photograher – there are no advantages to returning to film, imo. The huge #1 is that Kodakchrome is gone ;-(. Cost is incredible and with the proper plug-ins for Photshop, you can imitate the “film look.”
Absolutely Beautiful thanks for sharing…
Great pictures as usual. Keep up the good picture taking Jane, Jim, and Gil. Look forward to seeing the great pics every Sunday. Thank you.
Always look forward to the Sunday nite photos. Thanks for sharing your talent!
To: Amateur Photographer……I am using a digital camera…..NIKON D200.
And, yes, Tony, I have been playing cat & mouse with the white egret but he has always been quite far away to get a decent shot of him. I was very surprise to see a white egret here in this location. Big Great Blue herons but not white egrets.
He’s a very shy bird, Gil. I’ve caught him about 100 feet from the road just once. I’ve gone down early, late and in between and he seems to see me coming even before I get to an open spot. I tried sneaking up through Millie’s property and he was on the other side before I could get a clear view. Maybe SCUBA ;-).
I use a Nikon D700. Love the FX sensor.
As always, these pictures are womderful, though I must confess, I am NOT ready to think about fall!! Jane, what is that Osprey standing on? I look and look and look and figure it must be some part of a broken tree, but I really can’t tell. A great shot of his feet and talons though, for sure!!
Unbelievable! Fantastic photos!
Jane, Gil and Jim;
