Snowy Ows. Despite the cold these are one of my favorite Birds of Prey to shoot. With the wind chill it was hitting -25 when I shot some of these.

The second bird, with the green head, is a male Pintail.

Your pictures amaze me!

Keep up the good work!

Here is a more recent shot of a Collared Dove. I ruined the links to my earlier shots my rearranging them at the site where I have them hosted. This is the first time I tried using Camera RAW.

Wulff, I really like the Wood Ducks. :bugeyes: Incredible Colors. Were those taken under overcast skies?

[Wulff 0]

Yes they were flyrod, good eye. It was grey and overcast with some drizzle mixed in. Glad you like them, heres a few more.

 

Some were natural light

 

 

Some were flashed with the aid of a Better Beamer ( very handy for birders)

 

And as low as 1/250th at 400mm.

Hi Wulff,

 

Work and family stuff has been incredibly hectic lately, so much so that I haven't had spare time to be online, for at least a month. Anyway, I love your bird photography, I could ramble on and on about how awesome it is. I'm really glad you joined the Forum!!!

 

I haven't had time for fly tying or bird photography in a couple of months now, but, I'm taking the next two days off work because I need to tye flies and get ready for a week in the Adirondacks, beginning this weekend. I hope to take some killer photos on my trip.

 

Here's a few pics of some goldfinchs that have been hanging out in the orange trees in my back yard.

I think the male goldfinches look real cool

 

 

The females sure like to fight

 

Flight shots are fun to capture

Thanks for the kind words Graham. Glad I found forum, as photogrpahy and fly fishing are like PB and J. My "birding" has taken a back seat this spring so I could concentrate on learning marco shooting and some fishing photography in but come the fall migrations and the end of Trout season I'll be back at it wit a vengeance. I'm a sucker for flight photography, especialy raptors. May try to get some Ospreys this weekend if time allows.

 

Those are all killer finch shots. Really, really like the two females though and thats a wall hanger for sure. A trip to the Adirondacks eh I'm sure you'll find lots of opportunities. My biggy is Nova Scotia in July. Coaster Brookies, small streams, whale watching and Eagles.

 

Nah, fly fishing and photography dont go together at all

 

Thanks again Graham, looking forwards to more from all.
