River Run

A glimpse between the trees of the rushing waters of the upper Niagara rapids. Shot in black and white mode with an R-79 infrared filter.

Great Blue Heron II

Same bird as below but zoomed in tighter.

Great Blue Heron

A good find along Cayuga creek. This GBH was intently fishing for breakfast. I had to back off the zoom so I could include his full reflection.

Tree Swallow

Tree Swallow

Another Swallow

Beautiful bird giving me some photo time and I'm glad he did. These little birds fly like rockets and are very difficult to shoot in flight. The canon camera I had this day was no where near fast enough to do BIF shots.

Big Swallow

A nice grab of this tree swallow perched a top a thistle. I love the blue feathers on these birds. This cutie looks pretty young, probably this years crop. It's important to not disturb any wildlife so keep your distance and use telephoto lenses. I used a canon powershot sx50 hs at 850mm which kept me about 15 feet away from my subject.
