I made a quick morning run down to the Conowingo Dam on the lower Susquehanna River. I wanted to try out the new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II with the M.Zuiko ED 300mm f4.0 IS PRO paired with the 1.4x Teleconverter MC-14. This gives me the focal equivalent of 840mm. All of the images were shot handheld at a shutter speed between 1/1250 and 1/1600 sec. and ISO’s of 200 to 2500. The camera outperformed all of my expectations.

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine told me about a Blue Heron Rockery in Bucks County, PA. It took some patience getting there, including some knee deep swamp water. But in the end it as worth it.

In the March time frame every year there is a huge waterfowl migration that takes place in Pennsylvania. One of the stopping points is Middle Creek. It is located on a 5,000 acre state habitat on the Lebanon/Lancaster border. The big attractions are the Snow Geese and the Tundra Swans. Counts can be as high as 100K Snow Geese and 10K Swans. I had the opportunity to photograph them a couple of weeks ago and a couple of years ago. The beauty of these creatures in such abundance is absolutely amazing.
