hello, Everyone, I am now back for some more bird posts! I have had a really busy summer. I am now into junior year and it is really hard. Therefore I needed my sleep and havent had time to post :) Well I didnt bird much either. Now its mid september or end of it, the hawks are in full force. I went shorebirding for one of my first times ever at Jamaica bay this august. I got some really cool shots of least sandpipers. I also got some awesome merlin shots last week at fire island which gave me the inspiration to post today. these are only half the merlin shots, I will post the rest soon. BirdBoy
Glad to see you are back posting. Summer is a slow time for all of us I think! Your pictures are priceless... Love these flight shots with the detail you've captured.
ReplyDeleteHey Friend!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about you, why you hadn't posted in a while. I was hoping ya didn't give up birding or photography.
Your Merlin pics are outstanding! I am pretty jealous actually :-) I have been a hawk watcher and counter for 30 years...Merlins are amongst my favorites!!
This is a species I haven't had much luck with in photographing...especially in flight. They move pretty fast.
The Merlins I get at my hawkwatch here are usually too far away.
I can't wait to see more of your shots of this fantastic species.

Super photos - maybe the best photos you have posted. At the hawk watch near me, Merlin is just a flash - here and gone. Rarely have I seen one do anything but truck across the ridge. Super, super, super!
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back at the blog!
ReplyDeleteThose Merlin shots sure are very good and I've missed your photography. Looking forward to - hopefully - see you blog more frequently again, so don't take me as an example :-)
Excellent ..glad you are back even if it is just once and a blue moon..Great shots..have never been to fire island and have no clue where it is.
