The Egret flyby wasn't but a moment to be sure, but one of my favorite egrets in flight.

This Osprey is one of few that have been in range. His fish was stuck on his claw, and he did a lot of dancing, seemingly attempting to be rid of it but not loosing it.

I saw the Eagle in a cage at the Bronx Zoo. I'm not happy to see any animal in a cage, but did get some shots. I'm sure this is as close as I will ever get to one.

This Hawk I saw while driving. I drifted over and began getting some shots apparently without disturbing him. Then several minutes later he just turned his head and looked right at me.

There is nothing special about this Black Crowned Heron shot. He was all by himself, working his way up an inlet. I was above on a path. I have had a chance to watch these birds for long periods of time, and my impression is that they are very mild mannered. Their calm is in strong contrast to the behavior of Snowey's, who can suddenly race around with their hair on fire, chasing away others who were just minding their own business.

It wasn't until I began photographing Seagull's that I began to appreciate them. They are actually very approachable. This one went about his business while I was seven or eight feet away. Getting close is really a treat. The details you get are terrific.

Another bird I have on occasion gotten pretty close to is the Crow. Cant say exactly why, but I really like these birds. This one allowed me to sit about five feet away for a long time.

Swans are beautiful birds. A very graceful demeanor. He saw me coming and mad his move to safety in the river, but not in a hurry. He displayed his feathers on the way.

I suppose this must have been a young hawk. I kept approaching slowly without alarming him. Or Her. From somewhere around twenty feet, he turned his head this way and that, watching me. Hope you enjoy my efforts with the birds.
