The pictures of these Turkey Vultures were taken in Doodletown near Bear Mountain, New York. The picture of these Turkey Vultures were taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens.

This is one of the first times that I have been lucky enough to be able to take pictures of a Turkey Vulture preening and looking very grand!

Not only was it special to see a Bald Eagle in flight over the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge, in addition the sight and sound of the nearly thousand snow geese all taking off at once was truly amazing.

Snow Goose in flight


The picture of this Snow Goose in flight with the Empire State Building was taken at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The picture of this Snow Goose in flight was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

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.
