Bird Photography
 

Bird photography has to be one of the most challenging subjects there is. I thought I would share a couple of recent ones (critiques are most welcome, also feel free to critique my newish photoblog, here). Both photos were taken with a Nikon D70, Nikon 300 F4 with a 1.4x teleconverter.

Here's a Swainson's Hawk photographed at Pawnee National Grassland in NE Colorado:

Here's a Snowy Egret flight shot from a park in Greeley, CO near where I grew up:

dude..........the hawk is sweet.........


man....the talons on him are crazy.


thanks for playin'.

the hawk is beautiful - how close were you to her/him (i didn't look under it's skirt) when you took the pic? those talons do mean business... :)

the wings on the egret in flight are also really cool - you can see such detail...

very nice

I love the shot of the egret in flight. The background is fantastic.
