“A Photographic Journey to Charleston Lake: The Eastern Bluebird and its Blue Barrel Perch”
Yesterday, I had the privilege of capturing images of the Double-crested Cormorants feasting on shad at Charleston Lake in Charleston, Arkansas (as described in my blog post “The Cormorant’s Quick Bite“). After spending some time with the cormorants, I spotted an Eastern Bluebird perched atop a blue barrel right in front of my pickup truck. In order to take a clear shot, I had to open the door and use the door frame to support my camera and lens.
