EXPED Photo Shoot /  by Kaj Bune

Another EXPED photo shoot is in the books. I can’t share too many because some of the products won’t be available until March of 2024, but here are some of the ones I can post. Once again, I had the pleasure of working with Alex as producer/director/model. New to our team is Kara, who assisted on this shoot - and modeled very well!

Barred Owl Hunting Baby Robins /  by Kaj Bune

At dusk the other day I drove by a barred owl perched on a wire. I quickly parked, jumped out and stood beneath it. Just after shooting the wire photos, it leaped into the hedge below and immediately flew out across the street to a perch in a tree. Because it was being harassed by multiple robins, I can only conclude that it was raiding a robin nest. It didn’t make a kill this time, but I wonder what has happened since. Were the adult robins able to fend off subsequent attacks?

Fern Forest on Bainbridge Island /  by Kaj Bune

Sword ferns are everywhere in the Pacific Northwest, but there’s a ravine on my home island of Bainbridge that’s always caught my eye as I drive or cycle by it. The other day I bushwacked into the midst of this fern forest at dusk and shot some photos, among the midges.
