   Very nice! Great eye shot
4. Robin Robinson September 25, 2010 at 1:48 pm

   Very nice shot
5. Robin Robinson September 25, 2010 at 1:49 pm

   Lovely macro work. Looks like she needs a shave.
6. Robin Robinson September 25, 2010 at 1:50 pm

   Fantastic. Your dragonfly shots are excellent. I can’t seem to do that with a macro……
7. Hilke Breder October 28, 2010 at 4:15 am

   You got a terrific shot of the wren. I love its alert watchful posture.

   Hello Laura, great website. I recently have been following your updates via Google Alerts. I am a amateur nature photograph. I notice you use a flash where I would never have expected it to be useful, such as with your 100-400mm lens. Are you collimating the light with any add on flash attachment and are you using Canons E-TTL feature?
   Merry Christmas, Paul
9. Laura Meyers December 20, 2010 at 7:13 pm

   Hi Paul, Thanks for your comments.
   I use something called a better beamer which attaches to my flash and does focus and magnify the flash onto the subject. I do use the E-TTL feature and most of the time have the meter set for -3 so that I get an easy fill flash and enhanced glint if necessary. In the case of this Black Vulture picture, I did need additional light because of the heavy fog. I hope this is helpful.
   Merry Christmas to you.

    It’s good site, I was looking for something like this
11. Guy April 3, 2011 at 6:32 pm

    Hi Laura I have to say how much I love your blog. My wife and I made a short trip to New York in Sept but thru your blog we see a different side of the city, one we barely imagined. This shot is just so wonderful with the powerful juxtapostion of one of the most icon building in the world as a background to the eternal cycle of migration. May I add you to my links?

    Regards
    Guy
12. lorenz April 7, 2011 at 4:58 am

    yay spring ! Curious how effective the flash was at what was probably some distance ?
    Beautiful tree, sky, and pretty bird, yum.
13. Lorenz April 11, 2011 at 5:08 am

    magnificent ! how powerful those wings look
14. Brenda from Flatbush April 11, 2011 at 8:39 am

    Just found this site with your amazing work, and since much of it is from Prospect Park, I’ve linked you to my park blog, “Prospect: A Year in the Park” (www.ayearinthepark.typepad.com). You take the kind of pictures I can only dream of with my current level of equipment; I welcome guest shots (hint hint) if you’d like to share (full credit always given). Stop by and say hello!
15. Lorenz April 12, 2011 at 6:00 am

    oooo! fuzzy little redhead, utterly adorable
16. Lorenz April 14, 2011 at 6:05 am

    the sparrow is adorable but I am especially thrilled with the roller-coaster tangle of vine !
17. JK Canepa April 14, 2011 at 8:10 am

    Fitting that you recognize the wisdom of the female song sparrow in choosing the male with the best song! And I know you also recognize a great voice when you hear it.
18. Laura Meyers April 14, 2011 at 8:20 am

    Thanks for your comment, Lorenz. I like the roller-coaster analogy.
19. Laura Meyers April 14, 2011 at 8:22 am

    Thanks for your comment. I do believe you are right about my recognizing a great voice – so far so good!
20. Lorenz April 19, 2011 at 5:30 am

    yay warblers ! such cuties. remind me of hot little sports cars.
21. Laura Meyers April 19, 2011 at 6:31 am

    I love the image of warblers as hot little sports cars. I totally get it! Thanks.
22. Lorenz April 20, 2011 at 5:11 am

    such elegance ! and fancy detailing on the paintjob !
23. Lydia April 22, 2011 at 3:58 am

    Very nice cpature! I am a sparrow lover!
24. Laura Meyers April 22, 2011 at 4:06 am

    Thanks Lydia,
    I do love sparrow also. We have about 5 species of sparrows around now that I am enjoying.
25. Lorenz April 25, 2011 at 5:27 am

    Prothonotary is right, nice outfit !
    Fascinating that a flash can be useful at the sort of distance these were shot from …
26. Laura Meyers April 25, 2011 at 5:53 am

    I set the flash at very low. When shooting small songbirds such as these, they are most likely in shady, dark, hidden places that need light.
27. Lorenz and Flutter May 9, 2011 at 5:09 am

    Flutter, upon seeing this lovely specimen says “little birdie!!”
28. Lorenz May 12, 2011 at 5:52 am

    I love warbler weeks !
    Do little birdies get more charming? I think not !
29. Laura Meyers May 12, 2011 at 5:58 am

    And do birds get more challenging to photography? I don’t think so.
30. Lorenz May 16, 2011 at 5:00 am

    A parula ! We never heard of a parula before and he/she is very sporty. Flutter got very excited seeing this lovely creature and promptly declared “Little birdie!” once again.
31. Lorenz May 24, 2011 at 5:16 am

    What a lovely texture on this little guys feathers, like he has dried off after a boogie board session.
    Easy to see why he’d be tough to spot in the usual habitat.
32. Bonnie May 31, 2011 at 3:29 am

    I seem to breathe different with your beautiful birds. Thank you.
33. Lorenz May 31, 2011 at 5:06 am

    Could a little birdie look any sweeter ? I think not!
34. Laura Meyers May 31, 2011 at 5:13 am

    And the song is so pretty also. In fact I will add the song to this post – since I have figured that out – come back in a bit to listen.

    Thanks so much for your support Lorenz!
35. suzan frecon June 1, 2011 at 4:39 am

    I loved hearing the video.Fabulous ( and instructive)! Do you have audio videos of other birds too?

    Thank You!!
36. Laura Meyers June 1, 2011 at 4:49 am

    Hi Suzan, You can hear any bird sound on the Cornell Lab site while viewing the bird – http://www.allaboutbirds.org –

    That is where I orignally got this audio file.

37. JK Canepa June 1, 2011 at 9:00 pm

    What a delicately marked bird! My friend calls himself Tim Vireo in tribute to this creature. Thanks, Laura, for the glimpse. Getting your photos is a real treat.
38. Laura Meyers June 2, 2011 at 3:52 am

    JK – I love that Tim has named himself after these beautiful bird. A fitting tribute.
    Thanks for sharing. lm
39. Kathy Calabrese June 4, 2011 at 9:24 am

    Hi, Laura!!! Your work is becoming positively incredible! I have a new email address, and I have a signed purchase offer on the house. Life is good in Buffalo–very, very busy. My practice is growing by leaps and bounds, and I’m doing lots of neurofeedback. I will call you very soon so we can catch up on all our news. Be sure to send me your daily pic on my new account! Love, Kathy
40. Lorenz June 8, 2011 at 5:27 pm

    Wow such feathers !
    That longest group with a tapering end are amazing.
    And the layered groups of shorter feathers that put power into the longest ones without breaking them how splendid.
41. Laura Meyers June 9, 2011 at 5:52 am

    Thanks for your comment Lorenz. I totally agree. It is an amazing and beautiful configuration of feathers.
42. Lorenz June 23, 2011 at 2:21 pm

    Magnificent ! A quintessential summer bug.
    Looks like someone took a bite out of one of those wings.
43. lorenz July 9, 2011 at 5:13 am

    We just saw “Black Swan” and the wings on this lovely creature remind me of some of those flowing gestures.
44. Laura Meyers July 11, 2011 at 4:28 am

    Thanks Lorenz. Funny you should say that – one of my criteria for selecting a picture is the sense of dance movement.
45. Lorenz July 19, 2011 at 5:37 am

    Magnificent detail !
46. Lorenz July 19, 2011 at 5:38 am

    Such a neck ! Very pretty pose.
47. Guy September 15, 2011 at 6:42 am

    What a lovely photo. I really like the detailed view of the head.

48. Guy September 20, 2011 at 6:48 am

    Hi

    What a neat shot it the Cuckoo is not a bird I see posted a lot, it is really giving you the eye.

    Regards
    Guy
49. Kalyan September 20, 2011 at 9:45 am

    Nice Picture. Did you use flash extender to shoot this photograph?

    Thanks.
50. Laura Meyers September 20, 2011 at 4:57 pm

    Hi Kaylan, Thanks for your comments. I used a better beamer on my Canon flash which may be what you are referring to as a flash extender. It does a similar function.
51. Laura Meyers September 20, 2011 at 4:59 pm

    Thanks for your comments Guy. I was happy to get this shot. It seems there were two Yellow-billed Cuckoos in Central Park last week. They are very shy and are heard more than they are seen.
52. Kalyan September 20, 2011 at 6:46 pm

    Hi Laura, Thanks for your quick response. I have one more question. Did you use tripod for the shot or was it a handheld shot. Photographs published here are beautiful.

    Thanks.
53. Laura Meyers September 22, 2011 at 4:53 am

    Hi Kalyan,
    I did use a tripod for this shot. Thanks so much for visiting my site.
54. Lorenz September 27, 2011 at 5:03 am

    magnificent catch ! nice smoothe gliding moment.
55. Lorenz September 27, 2011 at 5:05 am

    Gorgeous ! You could almost count those scales.
56. Laura Meyers September 27, 2011 at 7:58 am

    Thanks Lorenz – it is amazing to think that the colors are comprised of scales.
57. Laura Meyers September 27, 2011 at 8:00 am

    Thanks Lorenz – I was happy to get this one!
58. Guy September 28, 2011 at 7:22 pm

    Hi Laura

    Wow what a photo I love the traces of blue. Just great.

    Thanks

59. Laura Meyers September 29, 2011 at 5:20 am

    Thanks Guy – I really love to take pictures of birds in flight.
60. Lorenz October 11, 2011 at 5:18 am

    Fantastic timing ! and what a pretty critter.
61. Lorenz October 11, 2011 at 5:19 am

    What a sweet little bird! I wonder what she’s thinking?
62. Laura Meyers October 13, 2011 at 5:18 am

    She was in the right place at the right time and about 50 shots later I was able to present perfect timing.
63. Ed November 1, 2011 at 3:41 am

    This is a White-throated Sparrow. Great pic.
64. Laura Meyers November 1, 2011 at 2:11 pm

    Thanks Ed, Right you are! This is now a White-throated Sparrow.
65. Roger November 10, 2011 at 11:46 am

    Fantastic! I take photos of red-tails in NYC as well and just love this series of posts of yours. I just got the same camera kit you used (Canon EOS 7D and Canon 100-400mm lens). Best of luck to you to find more red-tails! They’re migrating now so you have plenty of opportunities. My hawk photos are here: http://rogerpaw.blogspot.com/

    All the best,

    A lovely image you really captured the personality
    and classic pose of the Nuthatch.

68. Laura Meyers November 21, 2011 at 8:00 am

    Hi Guy,
    Thanks for your comment. This Nuthatch was very cooperative in front of the camera.

69. Guy November 24, 2011 at 12:39 pm

    Hi Laura

    A great shot, I did not realize you could see wild turkeys there.

    Best wishes for Thanksgiving.

70. David December 27, 2011 at 9:01 am

    Just used this picture to identify a woodpecker I took a picture of! It’s harder to take a picture thru the window with the bird moving from branch to branch on a magnolia which has lots of branches:-)
    Thanks, David

    All the best.

74. Laura Meyers January 31, 2012 at 6:04 am

    Thanks, Guy.
    The bird was in perfect light and grand feather. Laura
75. Guy February 15, 2012 at 7:15 am

    Hi Laura

    The colouring on this shot is wonderful. I love the brown and blue of the water as a background to all the shades of brown and grey in the gull’s wings.

    Guy
76. Guy February 15, 2012 at 7:17 am

    Hi Laura

    A grey shot, the delicate feathers on the breast really show up nicely. Beautiful detail.

    Laura

    I’ve written a book on tidal wetlands to be published by the University of Massachusetts Press in 2013 and am looking for a few photos of salt marsh birds for a one-page figure. I found your clapper rail photo online and thought it would be great to show it with the other bird photos I have. Would you be willing to let me use it for this book (Tidal Wetlands Primer)? I’m also looking for a photo of the salt marsh sharp-tailed sparrow.

    Thanks for your consideration.

88. Laura Meyers May 7, 2012 at 4:21 pm

    Thanks for your comments, Corinne. It is amazing how complex some of the bird songs are. I plan to include more birdsongs with my posts.
89. JK Canepa May 20, 2012 at 7:54 pm

    Went to see the warblers in Flowering Peach Hill Park in Poughkeepsie last weekend; I sure heard them but wasn’t quick enough to see. By the way, no peach trees in that park because they replaced them with an orchard of apple trees. So lovely to walk around following all the songs in the trees. Thanks for this song, Laura.
90. Laura Meyers May 22, 2012 at 4:41 am

    It is great to be able to identify the birds by their songs. I am glad these posts are helping you. Thanks JK

     What a cute voice this little guy has, and a tiny body, and to think he (and she) can swim all that distance from the Northeast way down the ocean. I am just amazed by the power of the natural world. Even of its small wonders.
112. Audrey O November 26, 2012 at 8:06 pm

     Hi Laura, I have a blog with about 40 or so unique visitors, most of whom are my family, about my journey to becoming a beekeeper. Would it be alright to use your photo of a yellow jacket for a new post I’m working on about different types of bees? I found your fantastic picture via google images. I will certainly cite your work and of course leave the watermark.
113. Laura Meyers November 27, 2012 at 5:30 am

     Hi Audrey, Yes you are welcome to use this picture for your blogspot. Good luck with your beekeeping!

     Hi Tom, Good spotting. I did some poking around and believe it my be a hybrid between a Snow Goose and Domestic Goose because there is a faint orange eye ring on this bird that is found on the Domestic Goose and the body shape

     The pictured Hooded Merganser is an immature male, not a female. Note the yellow eyes and all-dark bill, both indicative of an immature male.

     I was searching for Merganser photos, and when I saw this one mislabeled, I thought you’d want to know.

     Hello. I recently had a pair of these birds carved for me. I’m not surprised you needed a 400 mm lens, these birds are impossible to encounter up close. Well done
