The picture of this American Goldfinch was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
The picture of this White-throated Sparrow in breeding plumage was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
To me, it looks like this White-throated Sparrow put on a shiny tuxedo for the breeding season.
I was lucky to find a nice spot where there were many migrants bathing in in the New York Botanical Gardens near the Twin Lakes.
This little guy stopped just long enough to pose for a pretty picture and then went back to flitting around catching tiny insects.
The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is in constant really quick motion and is very tiny. It is one of the smallest birds of North America. I take lots of pictures in order to produce a picture that is close to sharp.
This beauty was a very cooperative subject all decked out in his breeding outfit!
This Warbler species showed up at both the New York Botanical Gardens and Prospect Park this weekend. I was able to capture the Prothonotary Warbler at the New York Botanical Gardens at the larger of the Twin Lakes. The Prothonotary Warbler in Prospect Park was on the Peninsula. It is interesting to note that at both locations there was a Yellow Warbler present.
The picture of this Common Grackle was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
The light was just right to catch the irridescence of the feathers on the beautiful bird.
