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

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

Herring Gulls seem to be less afraid than other birds. The Herring Gull will get close to you and allow you to get close to them. It is fun to see these birds interact with their natural environment. This Herring… Read More
