My favorite Photos of 2023

Dec 29

Written By Arthur Fager

Well another year has gone by and I am happy to share my favorite photos from each month in 2023. So lets begin!

January

Morning sunrise at Crab Orchard Lake at the Marina.

This is a hawk I shot through the Moonroof of my car! Glad he didn’t poop!

February

Guess they needed a run at it. This was taken at Mingo Wildlife Refuge in MO.

Great Blue Heron on a frosty morning in Feb. I liked this one for the Boka in front of the subject.

March

Found this on a Foggy Morning near Ina IL

April

The famous Ina Osprey on the nest at Rend Lake. Love the way they are locked eyes.

May

A Red Headed Woodpecker. I used to see these in the woods behind the house I grew up in. This was the first one I had seen in many years. Near Wolf Lake IL.

June

B25 Mitchell bomber at Veterans Airport near Marion. This piece of history came in for several days. You could buy a ride on it but I was happy to just get a good picture.

This is an immature Bald Eagle. I am sure he had just left the nest recently since he let me get so close. Near Rend Lake IL.

July

I got this photo of a Gold Finch in a very colorful patch of Zinnia. There was so much color it made it distracted from the pretty bird, so I made him the only thing in color.

August

Black Crowned Night Heron posing for me.

September & Oct (Took a trip to Colorado all photos from there)

Narrow gage steam train near Silverton, CO.

November

Bared Owl on a post at Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge

My first good picture of a Belted Kingfisher.

December

One more picture of the Crab Orchard Owl.

Well that is it, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. If you want to see more check out the galleries here on the website, or follow the links below to Instagram and Scopio. If you think you would like one of these hanging on your wall contact me for pricing.

Until next time
