Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy – Black Elk Peak
An old stone tower, once used as a fire lookout tower, is located at the summit. The ashes of Valentine McGillycuddy were interred near the base of the tower and a plaque reads, "Valentine McGillycuddy, Wasicu Wakan." Wasicu Wakan is Lakota for "Holy White Man....
Remember Mr. Cronkite
Younger Americans will have trouble believing this, but there was once this guy named Walter Cronkite, who would read the news on television every week night. He didn't seem to have an agenda, or try to make anybody look bad, or good. He would just read the news, and...

Indigo Bunting
It’s hard to believe, but a male indigo bunting is a fake. Its strikingly beautiful blue feathers are a pigment of our imagination. There isn’t a speck of blue pigment in any of its feathers. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, their color comes from...
Barn Swallows
I know it’s deceiving to give human characteristics and emotions to animals, birds and inanimate objects, but there are times it just can’t be helped. The writing tool is called anthropomorphism, and there are lots of examples. Perhaps the most familiar is the Walt...
Common Yellowthroats
The late Jack Higgins, who steered me into photographing birds, always said that if “common” was part of a bird’s name, it wasn’t common. According to Audubon, that’s not true of common yellowthroats. The diminutive bird—only 4½ inches long—breeds throughout much of...
Bobolink
Whenever I see a male bobolink in the spring, an image pops into my head of a pretentious 17th or 18th century European monarch—or even one of our own Founding Fathers. The yellowish patch on the back of the bobolink’s head and nape of the neck reminds me of the wigs...
Black-Necked Stilts
The maternity watch in York County ended in tragedy for three hoped-for offspring of black-necked stilts after their rare nesting effort in eastern Nebraska. Liz Garcia of Utica faithfully monitored the nesting activity from the time she first spotted the nesters on...
White-Faced Ibis
Wildlife photography during gloomy periods are not as rewarding as when the sun makes the colors of a subject pop. The spring of 2021 seemed unusually cloudy. From April 15 through May 31—a period of 46 days—only 13 days in the Lincoln, Nebraska, area were free of...
Upland Sandpipers and Killer Rabbit
Classifying upland sandpipers as shorebirds seems as unlikely as saying bunny rabbits are ferocious. But even though upland sandpipers refuse to get near water, they are considered shorebirds. And, yes, one rabbit gained fame for attacking a U.S. president. Jimmy...
Whenever I see a butterfly
Thank you to my friend Larry Porter for letting me share his story and photos. Whenever I see a butterfly, an image of a U.S. Air Force refueling tanker pops into my mind. I see a flexible hose dropping down from the belly of the tanker to a thirsty fighter jet...
