The picture of this family of Snow Geese was taken at the Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The picture of this Snow Geese family was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
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.
On a really windy day, the birds will be flying into the wind and will remain more still making it easier to get a shot of the bird in flight.
I find the female Hooded Merganser one of the most beautiful elegant ducks that I see. The setting for this picture gives it a somewhat painterly appearance which really shows just how magnificent this female Hooded Merganser is.
It is so cool to take a pictuer of a bird standing on the ice. It is easy to see all of the lovely details of this pretty duck.
It is always exciting to be able to “stop” water with the camera. These two ducks were going at eachother for quite awhile and were in close proximity.
This White-throated Sparrow was sliding around on the thick layer of ice that covered the park.
