Spring Migration at Magee Marsh on Lake Erie
My Camera and Lenses
Nikon D700 Camera
Nikon AF-S VR-Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8G lens
Nikon 2x teleconverter
Nikon D7000 Camera (newer...love it because it shoots video too)
Nikon AF-S VR-Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8G lens
Nikon 2x teleconverter
Nikon AF-S VR-Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8G lens
I hand hold the camera for all my photos (I used to use a monopod or tripod for distance and macro, but the VR lenses don't seem to require it). I crop the images down in Aperture (I'm a Mac).

The Story Behind "Red and the Peanut"
Red and the Peanut is named after my first bird memory. When I was about six, I was at my Great Aunt Mary's house and she was telling me about Red and the peanut. "Red" was a Northern Cardinal that had trained Aunt Mary to feed it peanuts on demand. Since Aunt Mary's "Red" started it all, what better name could I choose?
