Cute and Funny animal pictures.
It looks like this cute and lovely porcupine just got out of the hair salon. The porcupine's spikey hairstyle would appeal to anyone who grew up during the 1980s big hair era. Rock on little buddy!

Ruby throated Hummingbird approaching flowers. Numerous hummingbirds are migrating from states north of us, and naturally, some that bred here are still consuming a lot of food in preparation for their journey south.

A stunning moment in Northern Illinois's natural surroundings.
In Winnebago County's Cedar Cliff Forest Preserve, an Eastern Bluebird perches atop a White Wild Indigo (Baptisia alba macrophylla) as the wind blows across the prairies. Day hikes on the prairie are so great for the soul. Prints and publication use contact us. Thanks for viewing and sharing our moment's in nature.

Two years ago but still a wonderful sighting and bird visiting Northern Illinois.

On Saturday, August 5th I received a call from NLI volunteer, Barbara Williams, that she had just observed a Limpkin in Raccoon Creek at the Nygren Wetland Preserve.

Incredible picture of wolf jumping.
Gray wolf chasing prey and jumping over downed tree in the forest. Photographing animals in action is the greatest thrill. Documenting the leaping ability of an adult wolf was truly amazing. Prints available at www.davidolsonphoto.com

"I'm Hanging in There" Young porcupines that reside within treetops have literal learning curves. Climbing trees is a way of life, and it must be done immediately. This baby porcupine is adorable as he makes its way through the branches. Prints and usage contact us. North American Wildlife Photography:
Take care everyone, and enjoy our wild places.

Solitude in Wisconsin's Northern Forests photography.
Moments will present themselves to you if you remain calm and patient in the enchanted woodlands. There are many surprises in Wisconsin's Northwoods. This is where the Ovenbird dwells. A warbler that nests on the ground and constructs a nest that resembles a Dutch oven. This is what gives the bird its unusual name. In this photograph, I tried to capture the stunning deep forests where this bird dwells.
