Ah, Spring…… best time of the year for a bird photographer. The snow and ice are almost gone, the temp is climbing and the birds are back!!! I was lucky enough to get out this week and enjoy the sunshine and warming temps. I went to Brick Pond and Lindsay Parsons Preserve and they both had their share of birds.

For the next 2 or 3 weeks we will also have birds that are not common to the area stopping in for a rest and a bite to eat before continuing their journey north. Shovelers, Ring necks, and Grebes can all be seen in the area at this time of year.
Wood Duck Drake
Woodie Hen. Not bad for ISO 8000!
And last, but not least, the GBH’s are back at the rookery…
Long shot, heavy crop, but they are back!
More to come……
