Vischer’s Ferry
I spent 2 hours at Vischer’s Ferry Nature Preserve this morning taking photos of some of the birds. As soon as I got out of my car there were two Sandhill Cranes flying directly overhead. I barely had time to snap a couple of shots of them. Swallows are very fast flyers and move somewhat erratically, which made it quite difficult to get any in focus flight photos. A few were decently sharp - I am actually surprised that ANY of them turned out. Here are some of the photos from this morning…
Sandhill Cranes
Bank Swallows
Kingbird
Yellow Warbler
Great Blue Heron
Tree Swallows
White-crowned Sparrow

Clint, we are thinking of buying a camera and lens for bird photography. Your photos are so spectacular! What do you use for these great photos?

Jim, I glad you enjoyed the photos. I use a Canon 50D camera body with a Canon 400mm 5.6 lens. The relatively light weight combo is excellent for birds in flight and the lens is very, very sharp.
