More Pond Birds

Posted By Steve Stonehill
My wife and I had an extremely productive day with approx 20 different species of birds photographed. The birds in this series were at Wreck Pond in Monmouth County, NJ. This first one is overexposed, I have to get the hang of shooting through a refractor in less than ideal conditions. This Red-Breasted Merganser has what looks to be a Bluegill in his mouth. This is one of several with the fish. this was at about 50 yards.

Clear Skies,

Ugliest Bird Ever?

Posted By Steve Stonehill
I shot this today at Lake Como in Monmouth County, NJ. It looks like a vulture and a duck had little too much to drink! grin

Clear Skies,

Bird Bullies!

Posted By Steve Stonehill
My wife and I shot these today at various spots in Monmouth County, NJ. This Red-Tailed Hawk was being chased by crows. I was shooting ducks when I heard the racket so I picked the tripod and camera up and snapped off some shots. This is lightened considerably, the day was gray. sad

Dreary Day Ducks

This photo is adjusted for levels, resized, and cropped. The variety of birds that are currently in our coastal ponds is amazing. I believe the three species in this pic are Red-Breasted Merganser, American Widgeon, and Bufflehead.

A Few Shots from Today

Posted By Steve Stonehill
When we left the house it was sunny, then the clouds rolled in. sad This pic is two consecutive frames stitched together. We were at the Shark River Inlet in Belmar, NJ. This gal was coming in from the ocean.

I shot these today at Shark River Inlet at Belmar, NJ. I couldn't make a positive ID.

Thanks,

Juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk

It's got something in its talons, my wife thinks it's a small bird. I shot this Sunday at Wreck Pond in Spring Lake, NJ.

This was shot last Sunday at Lake Como in Belmar, NJ. He never came low enough to get any close ups.

Bald Eagle

Posted By Steve Stonehill
This was a huge surprise for my wife and I. We never thought we'd see an Eagle where we were. This was shot last Sunday at Lake Como in Belmar, NJ about 250 yards from the ocean. I believe it must have been hunting ducks because there aren't many large fish this time of year that would attract an Eagle.

Clear Skies,

Steve
