I haven't posted in quite a while but I thought these would be of interest. I do volunteer photography for the Pennsylvania Game Commission and accompany their biologist to nest sites during breeding season. I photograph the adults to see if they are banded. While I do that the chicks are given health check ups and are banded. I can not identify the location of this bird beyond the State of Pa. These photos were taken with a 10-22 mm lens at 10mm! That means this bird was inches from my face!

Enjoy!

Well Well Well, I also do some Vol work ar a Bird wildlife centre , and take some photos of the birds, but just for my satisfacion. but after seeing yours, I think I will just give up, they are magnificent, and I am sure I will never get anywhere near your quality, Thanks for posting, even though they do deflate my efforts, still they are something to aim for.
