Birds In Flight - Arnold
Mar 5, 2012 15:47:44 #
This past week I went to the Viera Wetlands and Moccasin Island to photograph birds in flight.
For the Tech Geeks -
A Nikon D300S with a Nikon 70-200mm f-2.8 VR lens and a 1.4X Nikon Teleconverter was used to capture all these images. I used Lightroom 3 to do all my post processing.
I would appreciate your feedback and critique on these photos.

Actually that is an adult Heron in the nest. The heron in the nest is keeping this unwanted male from landing in this nest. This action has been going on for several days. Thanks for your comments, Arnold

Thanks Arnold. I have seen a lot of Sandhill Cranes this winter, almost always on the ground. If I watch them long enough they begin to take on the aspect of large flightless birds and I wonder how the heck they can fly. Your beautiful photo reminds me of just how elegant they are in the air. Thanks again, great post.
