The picture of this Osprey on a perch was taken at the Oceanside Marine Study Area in Hempstead, New York.
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!
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.
