Northern Pintail Female

The picture of this female Northern Pintail was taken at the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey.

The picture of this was taken with the CANON EOS 7D and the CANON 100-400 lens.
I have been trying out some new ideas in Adobe photoshop to create a more “artistic” look.

I have been wanted to get a picture of this beautiful duck for a really long time. I was not disappointed.

Common Merganser


The picture of this female Common Merganser was taken in the Bronx, New York. The picture of this Common Merganser was taken with the CANON EOS 7D and the CANON 100-400 lens.
I noticed that the Herring Gulls were hanging around the Common Mergansers in the East River. It seems that the gulls like to steal the fish caught by the Mergansers.

Brants in flight


The picture of these Brants in flight was taken at Jones Beach State Park.
The picture of these Brants in flight was taken with the CANON EOS 7D and the CANON 100-400 lens. There must have been at least 5000 Brants at Jones Beach on Saturday. And there were a bunch on hunters, because we kept hearing gunshots nearby which kept the birds in flight for the hour we were watching.
