LISA'S BALD EAGLE DOCUMENTARY "If ever there was an eagle lady, her name is Lisa--Ron Schara/Ron Schara's Minnesota Bound. Lisa's Bald Eagle Documentary began its seventh year on January 1, 2011. Winter, spring, summer and fall coverage of the entire lives of bald eagles includes eagles raising their offspring both on and off the nest. Lisa has shot more than 600 hours of video and more than a million stills of (often rare) behavior (including blizzards, floods, tornadoes, storms, nesting, incubation, hatching, rearing of eaglets, eaglets feeding each other, fledging, and eaglets' continued journey with their parents for up to two years after they leave the nest). The Bald Eagle Documentary has been featured on television and in newspapers, magazines and radio shows and exhibited at Lisa's galleries--White Wolf Creek Gallery in Stockholm, Wisconsin; White Wolf Creek Gallery & Bistro in Rochester, Minnesota; and the National Eagle Center. More than 50,000 people have viewed the documentary, and Lisa has written a book for each of the seven years of her eagle journey. She has several eagle and wildlife presentations she gives from elementary grades to college to corporate.

WINTER BUGS DOCUMENTARY The Winter Bugs Exhibit opened at Lisa's Wisconsin gallery in late April 2009. View her private collection of more than 200+ photo images of insects and spiders, both land and aquatic, documented in their native Minnesota winter habitat. All of these insects and spiders were photographed while Lisa was working on Walk the Burn Documentary in the Whitewater Management Area from the winter of 2005 to March 2006. Many of the insects and spiders she discovered on land and in the marshes were smaller than a grain of sand. She used her collection of digital cameras and microphotography recording equipment to capture moments in time with these miniscule creatures going about their daily lives. Some days were as cold as 37 degrees below zero with wind chill. It’s important to note that Lisa uprooted no homes, overturned no rocks or logs in her photographic quests, with the exception of times when she broke through the thin ice accidentally while looking for aquatic subjects. In some images, you may notice insects sitting atop grasses that were torn by coyotes that traveled her project paths in the twilight hours. Other images show the lives of insects and spiders walking across fresh deer scrapes. All life was photographed as found on the ground surface, undersides of leaves, on tree trunks and branches, walking across the snow, under the surface of thin ice, or in the openings in the ice, where other wildlife, or Lisa herself, fell through while crossing the marshes.
BOW WOW DETECTIVES (TM) Lisa's book series, Bow Wow Detectives (TM) is a new canine mystery series with hundreds of dogs photographed for the photo trading cards and book covers. Lisa is laying the groundwork now for her Meow Meow Detectives(TM) book series, a line of cat sleuths and their human companions solving mysteries.
RURAL SCENES, PEOPLE, HIDDEN-GEMS The lives of small town heroes and great weekend escapes in video, words and photos for Lisa's Road Show.
NATURAL HISTORY The collection includes 700,000 images of the life of a controlled burn marsh over a period of 590 days. Lisa's book manuscript, "Walk the Burn," is in production. Her assignment was to find a new species every day from fungi, molds, mushrooms, invertebrates, fish, birds, mammals and the life of a marsh. Hundreds of shots of day-by-day progressions of trees from budding out to leaves falling, plants growing up to dying, including a paper wasp raising her entire family to death (The Paper Wasp Documentary), all seasons, all weather and much more.
