Welcome to my Weekly Blog 
Wednesdays with Wildlife & Wonder

Debbie and kids (small)Debbie and kids (small)

Welcome to my blog — a place where wildlife, photography, and the beauty of nature come together.

 

I’m Debbie Quick, a wildlife and nature photographer based in the Hudson Valley of New York. Most days you’ll find me outdoors with a camera in hand, exploring forests, wetlands, and open fields in search of the wild moments that make nature so magical. From bald eagles soaring over frozen rivers to fox kits playing in spring grass, these are the moments I love to capture and share. 

My journey into wildlife photography began years ago when I first discovered a bald eagle nest near my home. Watching that family grow and thrive sparked a passion that has taken me across the Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, and many other incredible places in search of wildlife and natural beauty.

Every Wednesday, I share a new story here on the blog — a behind-the-scenes look at my photography adventures, memorable wildlife encounters, beautiful places I’ve explored, and the animals that have captured my heart. 

  • Some weeks you’ll meet a particular bird or animal that left a lasting impression.
  • Other weeks I’ll take you along on a photography adventure or share a little inspiration from the wild.

 

If you love wildlife, nature, photography, or simply the quiet wonder of the outdoors, you’re in the right place.

So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and join me each week for Wednesdays with Wildlife & Wonder.

Because the natural world always has another story waiting to be told.

June 29, 2014 - Day 55

Day two of vacation was awesome. It was a beautiful/sunny day and I spent the whole day outside. It was a little hot and humid for my liking, but I tried my best to ignore that part. I began my day with an almost 14 mile bike ride. I went from the campsite to the ferry and back because one of the other campers did it yesterday and commented on it b...

My first full day of vacation has been amazing. The sun was shining all day, I went for a 4.3 mile paddle in Lake George and I hung out with a bunch of my friends here at camp! My chipmunks have been active and hanging out at my site all day. I fed them peanuts and I took a few pics. My pic today is of one of them at my bird feeder. Note, I've see...

Today was my last working day before vacation and it was insanely busy. I worked non-stop to try and meet a deadline requested by one of my development teams. I had hoped to finish this at a reasonable time today and start my vacation, but it was close to 6pm when I finally did so. Anyhow, I am now on vacation. It is time to relax, unwind and enjoy...

Today was a wonderful day! I got to spend time with all of my eagle viewing friends and I got to photograph all kinds of wildlife. At the end of the day, I returned home with a great suntan and absolutely filthy from walking around in the woods. Usually I post pics of chipmunks, eagles or my boyz. However, tonight I am posting this great pic I got...

Today was a very interested day. I don't even know how to explain why in writing, but I shall try. I began my day by going to the office. It was nice being there after having a week off and working the early part of the week remotely. I caught up with a couple of co-workers/good friends and I got a lot of work accomplished (which is good since I f...

Sadly today is my last day of vacation and I go back to the grind in the morning. Due to it being my last day, I made sure to take advantage of the wonderful weather and do all the outdoor things I wanted. I took the boys for a long walk, went for an 11 mile bike ride, grilled dinner and finished off some work I've been putting off at the camp site...

It is hard to believe that my vacation week is coming to an end with tomorrow being my last day. The week sure did go by fast. Sadly the past three days consisted of non-stop rain. Today we finally had a good day and I made sure to take full advantage of it. I took the boyz for two really nice walks and I went for a paddle in the lake. Due to high...

It's been a really great day here at camp. The weather has been sunny and perfect with not too much humidity. I took a morning run to Walmart, which is the thing to do around here. Then I spent the entire day here at the campground. I spent the morning setting up the new grill and the new table I purchased, then putzed around the campsite. The pol...

Today I attended the "Birds of Prey" event at the Green Chimney's School in Brewster, NY. It was an incredibly spectacular event as I feel like I experienced some once in a lifetime moments. I hung out with some family and some friends. Talked, laughed and had a great time seeing the birds and the shows. Can you believe, I even touched a snake toda...

Today was a beautiful work day from camp. However, it was too cold to sit out at the picnic table, so I sat at the table inside. Periodically I would glance outside and see my little chipmunks running around my campsite and collecting the peanuts and sunflower seeds I put out for them. They stuffed their little cheeks and quickly ran off to go stor...

Back to work today after a nice long weekend. The day was beautiful and I got a ton of work done. I decided to stay up here in Ti and work from here today. I'm really glad I did because I got to sit outside in the fresh air as I pounded my way through work. We've been given some important deadlines and I feel good as I've gotten those tasks done in...

It's been a really good holiday weekend. The weather seemed a little iffy today, but overall it wasn't so bad. Mostly overcast and warm. Because the weather seemed a bit iffy, I spent a majority of the day hanging out at the campsite. I was frightened by a snake near my fire pit, yet I took a pic of him. And I got some great pics of a red squirrel...

It's been a wonderful weekend at camp. The weather has been touch and go, but when it has been good, it has been great. Today I enjoyed watching my humming birds and my little chipmunk. I didn't get many pictures because the ones I got were later in the evening and the lighting wasn't good enough. I don't think my chipmunk is the same one as last y...

Wow, work is insanely busy! There is so much to get done and not nearly enough time to get it all done. By lunch time I was feeling exhausted and all glassy eyed so I took a short lunch break in hopes of running into some bald eagles. I didn't get to see the parents, but I did get to see one of the babies. Here is an ok pic of one of the babies. Wi...

My last weekend was spent away at camp, getting things open up for the season. I was hoping to get some pics and post over the weekend, but I was so busy getting set up that I didn't get around to it. Today was the first day in a while where I got to use my camera. I went out eagle viewing during lunch, but now that the trees are filled in it is t...
