I like bird photography that includes significant hints at habitat. That goal is typically more difficult to achieve with flight shots than static shots but it can be done and this image is an example.
Blackbirds, grebes, eagles, assorted ducks and a photographic calamity – bits and pieces of recent shooting forays to Farmington Bay.
I’ve documented a relatively insignificant but interesting and even amusing event in the life of a bird and I even managed to get a shot that I often attempt but rarely get with this species.
I rarely succeed with Common Goldeneyes in flight but I’m happy with this image from yesterday.
I realize that some folks aren’t big fans of Canada Geese. But I’ve got’em, I shoot what’s available and if I like the photos I post’em.
And I like these.
It’s ironic that the incident with Captain Sully Sullenberger’s flight 1549 was caused by bird strikes that completely disabled both engines because the species involved was the Canada Goose.
I can like photos of any bird species no matter how common and believe it or not I actually got a flight shot I like yesterday, despite our inversion and gunky air.
Some folks don’t get very excited about Tundra Swans. I do, they’re damned impressive and elegant creatures.
A bird potpourri of sorts, just to give you a feeling for some of the other birds I’ve been photographing in the last ten days.
