My favorite time of day to shoot birds in flight is midday. It's counterintuitive to think midday can produce the best results due to the harsh sunlight. However, BIF photography is perfect for this because it helps keep the ISO low

Successful second birding trip to Megans Bay! The first time, we only saw flocks of Pelicans, but this time, there were Pelicans and about five Brown Boobies! This is a series of seven images of a Brown Booby fishing!

My first non-bird post here on Bluesky! Enjoy this Racoon perched on a tree :)

Some fine-art editing fun of this Greater Yellowlegs! Love Sandpipers 😊

If you live near Conowingo Dam, MD, I highly highly recommend going there either in November or April. Bald Eagles migrate through here and stop here for a short while. It's an amazing place!

Tree Swallows are such social birds! I can watch them chirp at each other all day 🐦🪶

Cardinals in the winter are very pleasing to look at. The contrast of red to any snow on the ground is a sight to see. One of the things I look forward to every winter.

Going through the archives, I came across this image of a Common Grackle in flight I took a few years ago. When the sunlight hits these birds just right, their feathers come to life in blues, turquoises, greens, which I think is quite pleasing.

Sometimes you just get lucky. My most recent trip to Everglades National Park, FL was a bit disappointing, or so I thought. On our drive out of the park, this Red-shouldered Hawk was perched on a post directly next to the road. Right place right time!

Black Vultures have this horrific beauty about them. I love Vultures in general. This one was photographed at Conowingo Dam, MD, which is well known for its Bald Eagle migration. However, if you also like Vultures, this surely is the place for you!

Tree Swallows are some of my favorite songbirds; all Swallows really. The way they interact amongst each other is hilarious. Definitely one of the more social birds out there. Enjoy this portrait of a Tree Swallow I took earlier this year.

There is a red-tailed hawk that lives at one of the local parks in my area. Unlike most wildlife, this hawk is very used to humans, so you are able to get extremely close! I was able to get within arms reach one time, which was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

One of my favorite things to do as a bird photographer is watch interactions between the parent and their chicks. During springtime, I frequently go to bird houses at different parks in my area to observe and document these special moments.

I experienced a truly special moment last year at Pine Run Reservoir, Doylestown, PA. A Great Blue Heron flew straight toward me, trying to take another Herons feeding spot. My lens caught the two herons mid-flight, fierce and synchronized.

One of my favorite shots ever.

Cormorants are one of my favorite birds, mainly because of their blue eyes. If you catch them in quality light, their eyes shimmer like diamonds 💎 🪶

I need help from anyone interested in giving me their personal opinions over a few pictures of mine! I've included two images, both of great blue herons taken at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, PA. In short, which image do you like more and why?

Thanks in advance 😊
