April Fools

Since today is April fools day I had to do something different. I also downloaded a photoshop like thing called gimp. It is awesome and I had a lot of fun playing around with it. I was testing it out on some of my photos. I did some cross genetics on my photos and invented three new species of raptors!!!! We have the rough legged eagle, the keserlin, and the short tail hawk( which is a real species i think)... Well i think they are funny. APRIL FOOLS


Below is the infamous Rough Legged Eagle ( bald eagle+rough leg)


Of course the Short tailed Hawk (redtail+Short eared)


My favorite the keserlin( Merlin+Kestrel)

Belted Kingfisher

I was down at croton poitn park the other day. I took a walk down to the beach. There was a good amount of eagles fishing down on the river. We were watching two fight for a fish. Out of the corner of my eye, i saw a smaller bird start zooming towards me. I thought it was a falcon it was going so fast. It turned out to be a belted Kingfisher. It never got too close, but good enough for a picture. It would have been cool to see his crown up. Hopefully in the summer time there will be more, and i will get better uppurtunites for a shot!
