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.
Spring is on the way! This Red-winged Blackbird is one of the first migrants I have seen this year.
I have been really enjoying taking pictures of the birds in the snow now that I have my camera settings under control. As we get closer to Spring, it is cool to get some of the returning and migrating birds in the little bit of snow that is left.
I like to go to the parking lot right on Jamaica Bay before the turn off for the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge where I can get closer to the water. There has been one Snow Goose at this location for awhile.
The Northern Cardinal is becoming the quintessential “bird in the snow” for me.
The Tufted Titmouse appears to have lots of personality. According to information on the Cornell Lab site – the quiet but eager expression of the Tufted Titmouse matches the way they flit through canopies, hang from twig-ends, and drop in to bird feeders
I am finding the combination of the Canon EOS20D with the Canon 100mm Macro lens a winning combination for Macro shots. I can hand hold it and get in really close to the subject. Auto focusing is fast and accurate as long as the subject is not moving.
