  • Channeling Bradford Washburn

    I channeled my inner Bradford Washburn (a famous Alaska mountaineer and photographer known for his dramatic black-and-white photography) on a spectacular clear day last week while riding the ferry from Juneau to Haines, Alaska.  It is very hard to get a sense of the scale of the magnificent mountains and glaciers that line the edge of the… [Continue Reading]

  • Springtime at Devil’s Den

    Our dog Blue had such a great time visiting Devil’s Den State Park in northwest Arkansas last fall that we thought we would visit in the Spring. None of us, including Blue was disappointed. If this is where the Devil hangs out, then perhaps Hell isn’t as bad as people say.

  • Sharp-tailed grouse video published by Audubon Magazine

    I’m pleased that the online version of Audubon Magazine used my video of Columbian sharp-tailed grouse to accompany the still photographs by my friend Noppadol Paothong. Over the years, I have accompanied Nop on several trips to this lek. His photos and my video were from our most recent visit last spring. The link to… [Continue Reading]

  • Wet adventures in Glacier Bay National Park

    “All…day it rained. The mountains were smothered in dull-colored mist and fog, the great glacier looming through the gloomy gray fog fringes with wonderful effect. It is bad weather for exploring, but delightful nevertheless, making all the strange, mysterious region yet stranger and more mysterious.“ JOHN MUIR AT THE FACE OF MUIR GLACIER,JULY 27, 1890… [Continue Reading]

  • Glacier Bay’s enormity is hard to fathom (video)

    The main bay of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in Southeast Alaska is vast, stretching 69 miles from its mouth to the furthest extent. It is hard to imagine that the area shown (a small portion of the bay) was a single large glacier of solid ice only a little over 200 years ago.… [Continue Reading]

  • New Year — Time for a bath

    On a New Year’s Day walk along the banks of Lake Springfield, I was greeted with the odd sight of a group of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) somersaulting in the water, followed by the loud flap, flap, flap of them flatly banging their wings on the water, then finishing with waving the wings back and… [Continue Reading]

    The conflict over putting in a hard-rock mine near the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve near Haines, Alaska took a new turn recently with the filing of an appeal on November 3, 2022, by an Alaska Native Tlingit tribe and five environmental groups.

  • Nature’s Window: Spring melt

    Upper McDonald Creek in Glacier National Park surges with water, tumbling over McDonald Falls on a late Spring day in May.  Glacier National Park in the Rocky Mountains of Montana encompasses more than 1 million acres. The park’s nickname is the “Crown of the Continent Ecosystem.” The park was established in May 1910.  Climate change… [Continue Reading]

  • Capturing memories of Glacier National Park with a cell phone camera

    While I spent most of a recent long-weekend trip to Glacier National Park in Montana lugging my heavy Nikon camera and lenses, I found myself without them during an impromptu hike to Avalanche Lake in the park.  The point I want to make is that it has been said that the best camera is the camera… [Continue Reading]

  • A wild grouse chase — the search for greater and lesser prairie-chickens

    KANSAS is home to two main species of prairie-chickens, lesser prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) and greater prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus cupido), and some hybrids thrown in. The differences are subtle but easy to spot once you know what to look for. Recently, I accompanied my photography buddy and grouse expert, Noppadol Paothong, on a trip to Kansas to research lek locations… [Continue Reading]

  • Columbian sharp-tailed grouse dance to impress

    I HAVE MADE occasional trips to photograph Columbian sharp-tailed grouse on a lek in southern Wyoming for almost a decade. The Columbian sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus columbianus) is one of the seven recognized subspecies of North American sharp-tailed grouse. It is also the rarest and smallest of the subspecies of sharp-tailed grouse. Columbian sharp-tailed grouse… [Continue Reading]

  • Warm beach or -27°F? 

    I know our friends think Carol and I are a bit crazy. Our recent “Spring vacation” supports their case. While everyone we knew was heading to the beach to soak up the sun and dip their toes in the ocean and warm sand, we headed to the frigid mountains of Rocky Mountain National Park where temperatures were… [Continue Reading]

  • After a million visiting birds, quiet time at Loess Bluffs

    A few weeks ago, I made a scouting trip to the Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Missouri near the Nebraska/Iowa/Missouri border. I use the word “scouting” trip as I knew I was traveling there long after the big migration of waterfowl (and the accompanying bald eagles) had passed through. Still, I wanted to… [Continue Reading]

  • Massive landslide pours onto Lamplugh Glacier

    I was fortunate to be in Haines, Alaska when a massive landslide occurred on the Lamplugh Glacier in nearby Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. The slide occurred on the morning of June 28 in a remote area of Glacier Bay National Park in southeast Alaska. The landslide was first observed by Paul Swanstrom, pilot… [Continue Reading]

July 7, 2012 by John L. Dengler

Cell phone cameras are amazing, but don’t forget a real camera

June 11, 2012 by John L. Dengler

Having an cellphone camera means you always have a camera with you. As the saying goes, the best camera is the camera that you have with you. But knowing that you have the iPhone camera always at your disposal can make you lazy. I sure wish I had my … [Read more]
