Hi Nancy. I wondered if I could get your email address? I work with Audubon on their magazine content and I really like your photography and instruction and might want to recommend you for something. Thanks much.
Nancy – this is Louise from walking the Lakeshore and exercise class. I have missed you but I wanted you to know my friend Julie and I attended the Chamber Music Concert on Friday evening. The musicians were truly caliber and having the composer of three of the selections present (to conduct) was special. Too bad he didn’t talk a little more about his inspiration for the works.
The program was extremely dark, minor in tonality and truly a downer after a very ugly day, weatherwise. I am sorry to say that we left at intermission – I think it was more than enough for Julie and though I would have liked to have heard the Romantic composers’ selections in the second half, I was ‘beaten down’ as well. Thank you for sharing the tickets and, again, the quality of the performance was impressive. Just a combination of factors that led to a very depressing performance. Regards,
Hi Louise,
Thanks for the feedback on the performance. It does sound depressing–especially after a dreary day.
I have missed you as well. I was in Gladwin with my sister earlier in the week- and now our grandchildren are visiting.
If I don’t see you in the next couple days, I hope you have a pleasant trip home to Florida.
—Take Care.
Nancy, now sure how to reach you apologies for the reply to another comment. I am interested in using your meadowlark image on my website at atienobird.com Let me know your process if you are willing.
Hi there. Thanks for visiting my website. Generally I do not charge a fee for the use of my photos, but I ask that users of my photos give me credit. “Photograph by Nancy McKown, NancyBirdPhotography.com”. Is this acceptable?
I’m a watercolor artist and instructor. I would love to use one of your warbler images as photo reference to teach a class. If I’m allowed, I will give photo reference credit to “Nancy Bird Photography”.
I don’t actively market my photographs, so I always appreciate it when people contact me to ask for permission to use one or more of my bird images. Thank you!
My fee for a one-time use non-exclusive license is $15.00 per image. I also ask that you include my name with the photograph when you publish or display.
Hi Nancy, just wondered what you think is the problem. I’m using a Canon EOS Rebet t1 probably at least 10 years old. Also a canon 100-400 zoom and other miscellaneous zooms. Lately it seems like all my shots are blurry, slightly out Of focus. Just took 50 wildlife photos on Sunday and every one was off. Used different lenses and shutter speeds from 200 to 2,000. Nothing in the frame was sharp at all. Any thoughts?
Interesting problem. I usually look to the lenses when I have focus problems. It appears that since you do not appear to be a beginner and you’ve experimented with multiple zoom lenses, that it may be the camera itself.
I spend a lot of time trouble shooting….usually by determining if the focus related electronics still fail when set to different modes.
Some things to consider:
–Do your lenses have IS -Image stabilization engaged? If so try them on “off” – Perhaps the IS function on the lenses are not communicating correctly with the camera.-Are the lenses always set to Auto focus? Have you tried experimenting with Manual Focus to see if you get the same results?
–Is it happening in both one-shot and continuous focus modes?
–Is it happening when using different focus point selection options ?
Sometimes.. in the end…the most cost effective remedy is to replace the camera.
Please let me know what you discover. Thank you for visiting my blog.
I’m an artist in Florida and wondering if you give permissions for your images to be used as references in paintings, and how I might go about doing that? The intent is to make a large conservation/wildlife-themed watercolor that I would potentially sell and/or make giclee prints of to sell. It might also be used as part of a publication at the end of the year. I’d love to use one of your yellow warblers as an element in this piece, please let me know if this is possible!

My fee for a one-time use non-exclusive license is $15.00 per image- usually paid via PayPal. I usually ask that the artist include my name as photographer when she publishes, but that is not necessary if the warbler image is only used as a component of a larger piece.
I enjoyed visiting your website. I would LOVE to see the final composite that includes my image—if you would be so kind as to send me a quick photo.
Hi Nancy,
Today I found a Black-billed Cuckoo, and your picture was the one that allowed me to positively identify it. It was hunkered down on a 2-lane highway, one foot off the center line, as cars sped past at 65MPH. It did not move a muscle. I turned around, snatched it up, put it in a box & brought it home to care for it until it recovered. It does not appear injured & perches calmly on my hand. It has not wanted to fly off yet, even though it does not appear injured internally or externally. I have a few pictures if you would like to see them. It was found about 3 miles North of the intersection of M-65 and US23 in Northern Michigan. Here: https://goo.gl/maps/ojaQiV3mg56XvkQe7
Hi Rick,
Quite a rare find…. too bad about the circumstances- perhaps he was stunned or sick? Hope he is ok- Glad you extracted him from danger.
…. thanks for writing and visiting my blog- and YES, I would like to see the photos of him.
Can I write an article for your website for those who rushed to buy a home during the pandemic and are now regretting it? Whether they’re house poor, dealing with costly, unexpected repairs, or simply don’t like their new neighborhood, I’d like to offer advice on what options are available to them.
If you think this topic will resonate with your site visitors, please let me know.

Dear Nancy,

Will you please reach out to me at your earliest convenience? I’ve given my personal gmail account below, as my work email has a hefty spam filter. (Work email is michelle@ecos.us)
Hi Nancy! How can I access your paypal to send your license fee for one-time use of an image? For reference I lead a bird club! We offer free walks every week to neighbors. I draw species on a whiteboard and run an instagram account (where I want to post your image!) Thank you so much!
I’m putting together an alphabet bird book for kids with disabilities using my poems and other peoples’s photographs. The working title for the book is “If You Could Have a Word With a Bird.” In the book, kids ask questions about things the birds do and the birds answer with poems full of interesting scientific tidbits. The purpose is to help kids with disabilities feel more connected with nature.
I want the photos to be beautiful to help create an emotional connection.
I’d like use a photo of yours of a purple finch for the letter P. The photo has this identifier: 0U6A7744. The date is 2016.
Please let me know if I may use the photo and what the licensing/payment procedure is.
Good Morning, Nancy.
Beautiful cards.

Hi Nancy,
I work for a production company and we’re interested in licensing a couple of your bird images. Would you be able to email me when you have a moment?
Thank you,

Nancy, I found one of your images on the web. Do you ever give artists permission to use your work as reference material? Thanks so much!
