Osprey in flight


The picture of this Osprey in flight with nesting material was taken at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The picture of this Osprey in flight was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

Both Osprey pairs were back at their platforms this past weekend doing some serious nestkeeping as were many of the other summer residents.

The picture of this American Robin was taken at the Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

The picture of this American Ronbin was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
I find that taking lots of pictures of my subject gives me a better chance of coming up with a picture such as this – especially with small birds when it is difficult to see exactly what they are up to from a distance.

Black-capped Chickadees

The picture of these Black-capped Chickadees were taken at the vail in Prospect Park. The picture of these Black-capped Chickadees was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I have not been at Prospect Park for quite awhile. I always enjoy the first Sunday of the month 8AM walk. It was a special treat this Sunday. The park is about to burst into Spring!
