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.

In a previous post I mentioned that I may continue to do my blog/picture post, however the pic may be one taken not the day of the post. I think this will work out best for me. Due to today being really cold (in the upper 40's) and kinda dampish, I decided not to go out with my camera. I worked all day and met my big deadline, then spent this even...

Well, hello there everyone! I know, I know.... it's been forever since I've had a block post. Roughly six weeks. Sorry about that, but I've been incredibly busy and it has been difficult to post. The biggest challenge I'm finding is that by the time I sit down and process my photo's, I'm too tired to pick a pic and do a blog post. I'm thinking tha...

Oh my, I'm so glad it is Friday and the weekend is finally here. Between working all week, driving home from camp and getting up at the crack of dawn every morning to go see my eagle friends.... I am now tired. I got some great pics of the baby eagle's over the past few days. I meant to do blog posts, but until tonight I really didn't have a chance...

What a wonderful day out on my kayak today. I paddled out to Lake Champlain looking for my family of bald eagle's. I didn't see any of them for about 30-40 mins and just paddled around and tried to photograph some Blue Heron's. Eventually one of the little fledglings showed up. He then flew off and next thing I new I saw two of them in the air. Not...

Today has been a really fun and amazing day. We had our friends from Vermont over. Debbie and Mark and four chihuahua's (Twiki, Ridgy, Smokke, and Blue Bell). All six dogs got along great and hung out together while he humans enjoyed a BBQ and hung out. After lunch we all took a walk around the campground, then came back and hung out some more. It...

Today was an interesting day on so many levels. On the plus side, the weather was wonderful and I got to see my two favorite baby bald eagle's this morning. When I first arrived at my destination to see them, they were right there in the parking lot. The lighting wasn't very good, but I still took a couple of pics of each of them. Then they moved t...

Busy, busy, busy day with work. I didn't get a chance to see the eagle's, so instead I had a photo session with the boys. Besides, I figured it would be a nice break for you all from bald eagle pics.

I got up super early on a Sunday morning just to go see my favorite bald eagle's. Sadly, as soon as I got outside I realized it was a completely overcast day with horrible lighting. Briefly I thought I should just return home and go back to bed. However, I couldn't make that decision because in the back of my mind all I could think was that no matt...

What a beautiful, hot and sunny day here in NY today. I started my day eagle viewing, mowed the lawn and enjoyed a mani/pedi. It was a relatively easy going type of day and I ended it by photographing the super moon this evening.

My day at the office was extremely busy between juggling meetings and trying to get work done, it felt insane. The further we get into summer, the more stress I begin to feel about making my deadlines on time. My workload is completely insane and it feels like there are more and more initiatives thrown at us. Anyhow, I snuck away for a 45 min brea...

My vacation was awesome and I'm not back home. Naturally, I couldn't resist heading over to see my favorite young bald eagle's in our area. The parents never showed up, but the babies gave a nice little show. There was a fair amount of flying and lots of perching on the trees. The babies kept calling for a parent to bring, food, but no parent showe...

Today was another fantastic vacation day. The skies where gloomy all day, but at least there was no rain. Toshiba and Jordan arrived just before noon and we all spent the day hanging out. She and I took the three boys (doggies) on a really nice walk, then came back and hung out at the campground. We fired up the grill and had a really nice late lun...

Today has been another wonderful vacation day. I went out on my kayak for 3 1/2 hours and enjoyed watching the baby eagle's. Two of them have been branching and one started to branch today. Not for long though as it went back in the nest within a minute. One of the parents showed up with food, then hung out in a tree near by. I got many great pics...

I'm half way through my vacation week and so far everything has been pretty awesome. On Monday I kayaked into Lake Champlain hoping to find some bald eagle's. I feel like I struck the jackpot as I didn't only find adult bald eagle's, but I also found a nest with three babies. Two of the babies are branching and one is still hanging out in the nest.
