It might seem that this picture was a lucky accident. I took lots of pictures of the Snow Geese in flight. There were hundreds of Snow Geese at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge this past Saturday.
I took this picture from a jetty that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean where there were strong currents and breaking waves. It was a bit challenging for me to get up onto the jetty with all my equipment and then get set to to take this picture before the birds moved on. But well worth the ordeal to capture such a lovely bird.
I made a couple of trips to view the Bald Eagles on the Hudson River. They are magnificent to see but really hard for me to get a good close up picture. I took this picture from Stony Point, New York which is on the West Side of the Hudson River.
Spring is on the way! This Red-winged Blackbird is one of the first migrants I have seen this year.
I have been really enjoying taking pictures of the birds in the snow now that I have my camera settings under control. As we get closer to Spring, it is cool to get some of the returning and migrating birds in the little bit of snow that is left.
