Karl and Kathleen Nichter Photography



This blog began in 2009, about a year after we started our photography business. People attending our photo exhibits, or our hikes and workshops, asked for details on where we traveled for photography. As naturalists we usually kept a field journal, so we used that as a basis for Field Notes.
In Summer, 2014 we took a break from the blog because our business, and lives were changing. In January 2015 the blog restarted with an expanded theme. It now contains photography, notes, and articles from all of our travels and all of our photography, not just nature themed. The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

Thank you for visiting.

Capture the Moment: "This is my pond"

I watched this duck for several minutes. It appears to be a hybrid, not quite Mallard and not quite Mottled, which I understand from the experts is becoming more and more common here in west central Florida. Regardless of species, which he doesn't likely care about anyway, he clearly felt that this bit of pond was his and his alone. He went after any bird that attempted to land near him, never getting close but definitely sending any interlopers on their way.
