Tiny shorebirds like the Solitary Sandpiper can be difficult to photograph. Most obviously they are small. So it can be difficult just to even see them. Just try to be aware of movement in your field of view. Due to how small the Solitary Sandpiper is it can be close enough for a good photo. They move around a fair bit and can be easily spooked. Sometimes the simple facts of the… Read More

I haven’t had the opportunity to photograph Hooded Mergansers as often as I would like. The Hooded Merganser is a cool bird with an interesting hood of feathers atop its head visible in different ways in both male and female birds. While out walking along one of the Finger Lakes in New York I spotted a small flock of Hooded Mergansers. This small flock of Hooded Mergansers swam around near the lake… Read More

I love photographing birds in flight. However, it isn’t very often I am able to capture beautiful scenery in the background as well. Often it is a bird against a blue sky. Common Mergansers do spend some time at one of our local parks. While the Common Mergansers often spend most of their time swimming and diving in the lake there occasionally they do take flight. Luckily the way it usually works… Read More

Killdeer have always been a challenging shorebird for me to photograph. They are small. Always in motion a Killdeer is. Killdeer run around the shoreline at a pretty good pace compared to other shorebirds. And Killdeer take off and fly frequently. Not always moving far off but just enough movement to make me miss a shot. Killdeer are always alert. There is no sneaking up on a Killdeer. Killdeer also have loud… Read More

I love taking my camera on the road. Discovering new sights in new places is one of the best parts of photography. When I have traveled to Maine the first thing I think about has not been photographing birds. Finding this Glossy Ibis was completely unexpected. I never thought of Maine as a bird watching location where I would find large shorebirds and I was pleasantly surprised to see the Glossy Ibis… Read More

I really enjoy photographing Great Blue Heron. Great Blue Heron are one of the species of birds that I have the most photographs of. I have over 3,000 photographs of Great Blue Heron. Great Blue Heron are great photography subjects for so many reasons. For one thing they are large birds so they can easily be photographed from a long way away. You can’t always get close and you don’t always have… Read More

Ring-Billed Gulls are a bird I can see anytime I want to. I really learned to hone my wildlife photography working to photograph Ring-Billed Gulls where I live.

This creates a lot of opportunities for learning and development. When working with Ring-Billed Gulls there… Read More

Laughing Gull. White body. Dark wings. Black head. Red beak. This Laughing Gull was one of several at the location where I was photographing on this day. They were all flying about. The Laughing Gulls were not flying in straight lines, but turning and banking. Crisscrossing and flying by each other. It makes it fun and challenging when the birds are in motion like this. It requires focus to remain locked in… Read More
