canon

This young Cooper's Hawk was quite cooperative as it put on a display unsuccessfully chasing several squirrels in Central Park NYC. The photo was shot with a Canon 7d Mark II and a Canon 100-400 f4/L II lens.

Taken in Trinidad 2019 a difficult bird to see ,although its loud strange call can be heard over long distances in the rain forest where it lives in the canopy.

Taken at the Hirosaki Castle

Bald eagle landing on tree branch.

A rare outing in 2018 but the Canon 600mm f4 Mk2 does the business!

Garden birds from the hide, birds are in short supply in the Fens Cambridgeshire and the best way to get good shots are in the garden for me. Love trying to get their lives as close as possible, often around 4-8 feet, it's fun and I get to watch their silly ways. Common male Blackbird in early...

Another shot of the same bird

This is certainly one of the most interesting birds from the trip, and an odd-looking one at that!

Sorry for being so late in updating my gallery...anybody else such a procrastinator? These are some from a trip to American southwest (AZ, NM, up to CO) over the summer. More to come...

A female taking to the air. Every time I post I seem to be apologising for my lack of contributions to the Forum. This shot was one of only a few taken in October, so not a lot of new bird images I'm afraid.
