Welcome to my Weekly Blog
Wednesdays with Wildlife & Wonder
 
|
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.

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.

The countdown is on as we are quickly approaching the opening of camp. Only two more working days, then I will be heading up to my spot on Thursday. I can't wait!!! I'm taking a 4 day weekend and expect to spend at least half of it working on getting camp set up.
Although today was busy with work, I did sneak away at lunch time to spend time with...

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!
Today was a beautiful and sunny day. I started it off by taking care of housework and laundry. Once I decided I completed enough chores for the day, I picked up Mark and we went out Eagle viewing. The nest we went to today was roughly an hour and half away from home, but it was so worth the drive. The...

Wow, today has been an amazing day. Like usual, I spent most of it working. However, I did sneak out for a quick lunch break and got to enjoy my eagle's. Oh my, they put on one heck of a show for me in such a short period of time. The dad hung out keeping an eye on the babies and the mom came swooping in and chased away a juvenile bald eagle who tr...

Hey peeps! I know it has been a while since I've posted, but things have been really busy. In addition to all my usual activities of work, family, friends and eagles, I've begun dating a new guy. His name is Mark and so far he's been treating me really well. It's still early, so I won't post much about him, but I will say that so far he has been re...

Wow, this week has been insanely busy and I am now exhausted. In addition to all my usual weekly activities, I volunteered at a local middle school for Engineering Week all day on Wed. We talked to the students about math, science and engineering and then we engaged them with a science/engineering project. Their project was to design, develop and t...

Today is one of those days when I realize that life is truly wonderful. Yes, I did spend the majority of my day working, but I did squeeze in time to do the things I really enjoy. I chatted with family and friends, I watched and photographed bald eagles and I squeezed in time for the gym. Naturally, I do wish the days were longer so I could fit in...

Happy Monday. Oh how the weekend always goes by far too quickly. Today was busy. Work all day, then the gym in the evening! It was my first day back to the gym after dealing with bronchitis, so I took it a bit easier than I usually would. I'm hoping tomorrow I can attempt to give it my all. Because there was no time to get out and get a photo today...

Wow, today was a beautiful spring day. I put my boys out and could here the beautiful sounds of birds chirping. Finally, the good weather is here and hopefully to stay. I began my day by spending a few hours catching up on yard work. I'm not done yet, but I sure did make a good dent in the task and my yard looks way better than it did when I first...

Oh my, today has been a really busy and fun day. Full of photography and hanging out with friends. I began my day hanging out with Eysha. We went to the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx and enjoyed the Orchid Show. After we returned, I relaxed at home with my boys for a bit, then headed out to the park to hang out with Bob and the Eagle's. By the tim...

Oh my gosh, today was such a beautiful day. I think Spring has finally arrived in the area of Dutchess County, NY. For a good portion of the day the sky was a pretty blue and the temperature was awesome. I think we may have hit 60 degrees today. YAY! I was even out in a short sleeved blouse this afternoon.
Like always, work was crazy and busy. How...

Hello peeps! So, how many of you played April fools jokes and got away with them? For the first time (in many years) I tried to play one and I think I had a couple people actually fall for it! Naturally my joke involved the eagle's. I couldn't resist announcing on FB that an eagle landed on my arm today.:-)
Anyhow, I've been on this antibiotic for...

This Bronchitis has been brutal. I can't believe it has been 12 days and I'm still a bit far from being back to normal. The antibiotic has helped cleared things up enough so I can breath (and sleep), yet I'm still a bit congested with a nasty cough. Hopefully within a few more days I'll be able to get back to all my normal activities.
After work t...

Today is day 10 of being sick and I'm finally starting to see the road to recovery, yay. The antibiotic I started on Thursday night must have kicked in because last night I had the best sleep I've had in well over a week. It felt great to get up this morning feeling well rested. I met up with a friend and we went to my new/favorite eagle spot. Watc...

Sadly it has been over a week since I've posted, but that is because I've been very sick and cooped up at home. After 8 days of torture, I finally went to the Dr today because I figured it was time to get an antibiotic. Well, good thing I went because apparently this cold was actually bronchitis. A normal person would have picked up their prescript...

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday. I ran a small errand and spent most of the day outside. In fact, today was the second Sunday in a row where I had the opportunity to spend it outside and get a sunburn on my face. It was a rather cold day in the upper 30's, but it was really sunny and nice to be outdoors. Here's a wonderful pic I got while en...
