Clapper Rail


The picture of this pair of Clapper Rails was taken at the Oceanside Nature Center in Hempstead New York. The picture of this pair of Clapper Rails was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I was pleased to be able to get a picture of a pair of rails considering how difficult it is to get a picture of this very shy bird.

The picture of this Willow Flycatcher was taken at the Oceanside Nature Center. The picture of this Willow Flychatcher was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I felt like a flycatcher or more precisely a gnatcatcher yesterday at this marsh. There were so many gnats.

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!
