Troy Marcy Photography

Troy Marcy Photography I'm all about capturing the moment. I'm primarily a nature/wildlife photographer operating in Central Illinois. You can order images directly through my website.

I have and do take senior, family, and pet photos upon request. Please take a moment to check out my website at www.troymarcyphotogaphy.com to see my work. I do sell prints of my nature/wildlife images in various print sizes and mounts. My images make for perfect fine art decor and gifts for your loved ones. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Alder Flycatcher - I really enjoyed watching and listening to this little Alder Flycatcher. I wasn't sure at first, but my app consistently identified its call as that of an Alder Flycatcher. I was thankful to be able to get fairly close, even if my view wasn't fully unobstructed by several branches.

Eastern Phoebe in Action - I tried to assemble this sequence of an Eastern Phoebe, a bird in the flycatcher family, flying from one limb to another and then flying off. While it was a gray, overcast day with poor lighting, I still value these images as they show the behavior of a flycatcher, as they are excellent flyers that maneuver effortlessly around trees and limbs to catch insects. They are fun birds to watch.

Eastern Kingbird Pair - I had to pause and enjoy this scene of a couple of Eastern Kingbirds enjoying the evening glow of the sun on a spring night. It was a beautiful, tranquil scene.

Eastern Wood-PeWee Takeoff - I managed to get this image of an Eastern Wood-Pewee in the process of taking off. One of the fun challenges of photographing nature is trying to capture that one moment that happens in a split second. I could photograph this same bird 100 times and not get this exact moment again. It is this challenge that keeps me going out and photographing these birds again and again.

Immature Male Orchard Oriole - I've seen many Orchard Orioles, but I'm not sure I've ever seen or photographed an immature male Orchard Oriole. I love the look of this bird. I will definitely be on the lookout for more during the spring.

Portrait of an Eastern Bluebird - I have encountered several nesting pairs of Eastern Bluebirds around the county this spring. I knew without fail that I could go to that spot and see at least one, if not both, the male and female. Many times, they are watching over their nest or gathering insects. I so love seeing these birds.

Downy Woodpecker Providing - I enjoyed watching this Downy Woodpecker make trips back to the nest to feed the chicks inside the hollowed-out tree. It was a cute process to observe. It would find a grub and bring it back, and I could hear the chicks calling inside. The parent woodpecker would bob in and out of the hole, and with each exit, the grub would get smaller. The chicks were quite noisy inside.

Field Sparrow in Flight - I found this beautiful Field Sparrow moving through, of all places, a field at Comlara Park. I appreciate that it gave me a view of the top of its wings, showing off its beautiful tan and brown plumage in the evening sun.

Eastern Wood-Pewee - I loved that this Eastern Wood-Pewee was giving me as curious a look as I was giving it. This flycatcher was soaking up the sun, just waiting for the next insect to fly by.

Black-throated Green Warbler - This series of Black-throated Green Warbler images was taken on May 14th at Centennial Park in Heyworth, IL. This particular bird allowed me to get closer than most of this species of warbler.
