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 The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

For more information, please click on "About Us" below.

Thank you for visiting.

Sandhill Crane and Two Colts

We watched the Sandhill Cranes walking their colts around all spring, as the colts went from yellow, fuzzy little chicken sized birds to the size of their parents. We were surprised to see these the other day, as it seemed late for colts this young. I checked, and breeding season here in Florida is Spring and Summer, so this is not apparently as unusual as we thought. Here they follow "Mom", running to keep up with her slow walk. "Dad" was behind them a bit.
