Hello! My name is Casey McKinney. I’m a wildlife photographer based in the Great state of Kentucky. I also dabble in astrophotography and landscapes but be on the lookout for beautiful wildlife and birds. I love what I do and would not trade it for anything. I hope you enjoy my page. Much love ❤️
What a pleasure it was to finally discover and photograph my favorite duck. Loons are absolutely unique and adorable and I was so excited when I spotted him.

What a treat to capture. An Eagle chasing down an Osprey right when the Osprey released the fish. This was so cool to see.

Later last year I had the privilege to go out west to see the sights. I set a task for me to do as many high quality panoramic photos. This is a 22 photo stitch in monument valley!
Yes I also do landscape! I’m in love!

We got a screamer. The Red-Winged Blackbird is quite the vocalist. This guy was not happy I was around him… clearly

The ravens were so pretty out in Utah. To them they are just another bird but to see them for the first time up close was very cool. It was neat to see such an intelligent bird. This was actually taken at Delicate Arch.

Moooooooooo, the first animal I took a picture of on my trip was the elusive and hard to capture… common cow. I wanted to try a black and white style since it was rainy and overcast.

Show me your favorite duck photos! This one is definitely mine. These 6 wood ducks at my local park posed nearly perfectly in line on a log. I held my breath when I saw them, and the photo turned out great

Day one of the road trip took me through Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and left us right on the border of Missouri. Highlight of the day was this gorgeous barn.

Just had a nightmare that I took a trip out to the park and I saw a bobcat playing in a field. I took out my camera bag to photograph the cat but when I opened my bad my camera was left at home. Truly terrifying.

If I can’t find a wood duck why not just stick with the photogenic Mallard. Just beautiful. I love these guys.

The wait is over! I’ve spotted a Belted Kingfisher after over a year of bird photography. Last time was in South Carolina. These birds are so tough for me for some reason. So happy I got to get at least a video. Short sweet and simple video.

During mid-summer I had an incredible run in with a Downy Woodpecker some of my best looking shots. Such a pretty and handsome looking bird.

Ok, maybe not "definitely" my favorite, because I forgot about this one

I was taking a photo of this deer standing in a beautiful field, and somehow managed to catch an indigo bunting in the photo as well. I didn't know it was there until I went to edit it. No motion blur either, very lucky shot

New bird off my checklist ✅. The little cutie patootie. The Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Just look at the little fella. I just want to squeeze its cheeks.

Had a great time with blue birds yesterday morning. They would not stop showing up.

Yes! The ever so unique and incredible Pileated Woodpecker. Such an awesome not so little pecker. It’s sounds and calls are so interesting. I was so happy to get close to these fellas.

One of my favorite feathery friends to take pictures of, they are just so adorable. Mallards are so precious little ducks.

Oh how I love taking pictures of birds in the rain. It’s my favorite kind of mood and tone in my photos. You just can’t beat it.
