Black and White Warbler. Crystal Lake Park, Urbana, Illinois USA

Loved having this bird so close with a pretty background of sky and fall leaves in the sunlight. Glad to have these pretty little birds back for the fall and winter.

Top of Kennesaw Mountain. My very first photo of this warbler so I am excited about that.

The number of birds in NYC is on the decline and I am trying to document and see as many as I can.

 

All pictures shot with Sony a6700 + Sony 200-600G Lens in NYC.

 

This tree was so full of ripe, luscious fruit that birds were all over it. You only had time to swing the camera around and shoot anything that moved! I have tons of images to go through and try to figure out what I saw. I considered a female BTB (but no white patch on the wing) or a Palm (but no streaking). I'd love some help to see if it's a new one for me. Thanks

Along the popular coast side trail at Bluff Top (HMB), this hawk allowed me to get as close as I've ever been to a wild red-tail. Plenty of folks stopped and photographed this guy with their cell-phone cameras. Its not too often that 400mm is too much lens in bird photography.

Later, when the woodpecker took the the air, the hawk very quickly pursued. It almost caught the woodpecker a couple of times. I could see it reaching out with its little foot.

I got a very blurry picture of him in the same spot as the Canada Warbler, but he was gone before I could get an AF lock.

Migrating Canada geese stopped at the spillway for rest and refreshment.

Blackburnian Warbler between the leaves. Cropped from a larger image.

Probably the only Pine warbler I'll see this year. I was hoping for a better shot, but not likely now.

Recurvirostra americana & Phalaropus tricolor

Owens Lake, Inyo County, California

24 August 2011

Sussex County, New Jersey

Canada Geese, Sandhill Cranes, maybe some ducks and I see one Greater White-fronted Goose.

This was taken one week earlier than the others.

I saw the first of season American Wigeon at Sunset Bay. It is a male in eclipse plumage. Non-breeding plumage. When it molts into its breeding plumage it will have white on the top of it's head and a beautiful green stripe that goes from its eye to the nape of the neck on each side.

Yard birds

The Mum took a small run at the young Flicker, and she was gone.

This one tree was full of these little birds.

The smoke from the south really affected the light.

Lighter in color than the male. Junco's are ground feeders, you won't often see them in feeders, they pick up what lands on the ground. They arrives in flocks so you usually see several at a time. Only when they fly do you see the striking black and white of their tail feathers.
