Red-tailed Hawk Taking Off


The picture of this Red-tailed Hawk taking off was taken at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, NY. The picture of this Red-tailed Hawk taking off was taken with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with the Canon 100-400mm lens.

American Crow


The picture of this American Crow in flight was taken at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

I love the challenge and beauty of capturing birds in flight. Black birds present their own challenge. The correct settings and light are essential. Being ready and focusing properly are the major issues.

Snow Geese in flight

A Bald Eagle flew over the Jamaica Bay National Refuge and over a thousand Snow Geese simultaneously took flight.

I don’t know which was more exciting the sight or the sounds of all these Snow Geese in flight.
