Brown Creeper
The picture of this Brown Creeper was taken in Central Park in New York City in the Rambles. The picture of this Brown Creeper was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I have never been able to get a picture of the Brown Creeper before and this little guy just flew onto the tree right in front of me and began is ascent. The rambles is usually a really dark area and this was a very overcast day. I am very grateful to have the better beamer attached to my flash in order to capture a picture such as this.

The picture of this Carolina Wren was taken at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The picture of this Carolina Wren was taken with my CANON EOS7D with the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I have been trying to get a picture of the Carolina Wren for sometime. The Carolina Wren is a very nervous bird and I finally was able to get this capture at the blind at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Center for the mere moment he landed on this branch.

Black and White Warbler

The picture of this Black and White Warbler was taken in Central Park on the path near the Point. The picture of this Black and White Warbler was taken with the CANON EOS7D with the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I am still trying to the hang of shooting in some of the more shadowy areas in Central Park. I am using the Canon 580EXII with a better beamer and am adusting the compensation on the flash to -2 especially when I am close to the bird.

Black-throated Blue Warbler

The picture of this Black-throated Blue Warbler (male) was taken in Central Park, New York City. It was taken with my CANON EOS7D with the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580 EXII flash. I have been using my flash with a better beamer attachment when going to Central Park because so many of the birds are in the shadier areas of the park.
This Black-throated Blue Warbler was very close to me when I took this picture so I needed to have my flash at -3 not to “blow out” the picture.
