Highlight Gallery & New Additions-Updated 2023.9.19.

The Images in this gallery are in random order, they represent some of the best that you can see many more of in the main body of Galleries.
Several months ago I had to upgrade my Graphics Card and Computer Screen. It made me aware of images I posted in too big of a hurry and others that I could develop better. I'm slowly going through this gallery first and trying to upgrade as many as possible.
Samples of the most recently added images are now being added to the beginning pages. All Images in this Gallery are protected by US copyright law. No images may be copied or downloaded without formal written permission from Tom Jesiolowski/Northland Arts Nature Images.

  • Bristle-thighed Curlews 2013.5.23. This was the view I had hiking up the eastern shore of Cook Inlet to where I would have one of the greatest days of shooting shore birds in all my years in Alaska. I got over four hours of shooting the rare bristle-thighed Curlews with a bonus uncommon Marbled Godwit, Whimbrels, two species of Plovers, Short-billed Dowitchers, Turnstones, Dunlins, Red-necked Phalaropes, Yellowlegs, Sandhill Cranes and five species of Sandpipers. And didn't have another photographer show up the whole time I was there. And to top it off I got to talk with my granddaughter in Pennsylvania on her birthday while I was surrounded by all the birds. The next nine images are a few highlites from this day.
