There are so many reasons to love birds. Bright colors. Sharp beaks and talons. Enormous wingspans. Amazing acrobatics. Ability to catch prey. Sometimes these features occur all in one creature. One bird I really like is this tiny little drab colors bird, the Eastern Phoebe. They are just un to watch Eastern Phoebes are hyper active little birds. They do not sit still for long. Moving from branch to branch. Exploding into… Read More

I love the view of this Rose-Breasted Grosbeak as it is about to lean in and take a piece of food from the birdfeeder. The Rose-Breasted Grosbeak is another one of those birds that I’ve seldom seen for the most part. Then all of a sudden one season I saw Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks a lot. They were regular visitors to my backyard feeders for a season. I had so many opportunities to watch… Read More

Its hard not to like colorful birds. When there is a burst of color at the bird feeder it can quite literally brighten up the day. If you enjoy seeing wildlife. Set up a birdfeeder wherever you can. If you want to photograph wildlife. Set up a birdfeeder wherever you can. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/1000 sec. f/5.6.

Some birds seem to be few and fare between. Other birds are seen all the time. Then there are birds that for some reason or another it seems to be that I have increasingly frequent sightings. That is the case for Pine Siskins. It was a long time before I saw my first Pine Siskin. Then it just seemed over the years I have been seeing them with increasing frequency. There are… Read More

The Northern Cardinal is probably one of the more well known bird species in my area. They are known for their song and most significantly for their bright bold red color. The bright red color is great. But for me it is all about the more subtle colors of the female Northern Cardinal. I love the subtle brown color of the feathers that cover mosst of the body. The brown is set… Read More

Beautiful light and a beautiful bird combine in this image. I had never seen an Evening Grosbeak until all of a sudden I saw a lot of them. I had more opportuinities to focus my phtogorapohy on a new species of bird than I almost ver get. All this right at home. NAture is always full of surprises. Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/800 sec…. Read More

Some birds you see all the time. Some birds you see only a couple of times ever. Common Redpolls are cool looking little finch type birds. I have seen them on four occasions. The last time I saw one was in 2013. I have not seen one since. I love the little bits of dappled sunlight hitting the Redpoll in this photo. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm…. Read More

Some birds are a constant if you are someone who notices birds. The American Goldfinch is one of those birds. I love the sharp side light hitting the Goldfinch. The blue sky in the background and the almost completely dark tree branches help the bird to stand out in the photos. The light side vs the dark side of the bird is interesting as well. Photo details: Nikon D500. Nikon 300mmf/4. Focal… Read More

We don’t know if it was an escape from a… Read More

I think this is such a cool shot of Turkey Vultures. It isn’t very often that you have the opportunity to photograph Turkey Vultures in flight and be at eye level if not a little above their flight. I also have not had many opportunities to photograph Turkey Vultures this close and actually capture more than one bird in the frame at the same time. Letchworth State Park seems to be a… Read More
