Bald Eagles

I was surprised that the pair of eagles that I saw involved in the osprey chick stealing were still hanging around at the end of my walk, after all the trouble the mother osprey had been giving the pair.

Spencer – August 2014

Spencer gets a lot of mentions in my posts; he’s always with me when I’m out walking, and he is such a good, patient boy while I am shooting.  I try to resist the urge to post photos of him though, or this could well turn into a Spencer fan page, rather than a wildlife and landscape photography blog!

But, this weekend there was nothing to shoot, and I just spent the past half hour having some fun doing a couple black and white conversions of photos I took of him, so I thought I would share.

Next post, back to topic 🙂

The loveliest eyes I've ever seen on a pup (yes, I'm highly biased) :)

I decided to have a play around with using my flash off camera, and Spencer was my subject of choice. You can see just how excited he was to get his photo taken.

Heron in flight

Believe it or not, the heron landed in the somewhat flimsy looking tree at the far left of the photo! 1/640sec, f5.6, ISO400

Bald Eagle

It has been wonderful to watch, and capture, drama involving the eagles and ospreys the past couple of weekends, but I must admit, it is also nice to once in a while see them sitting still so I actually have the chance to really focus and compose a shot! 1/1000sec, f5.6, ISO500

Killdeer

I found this Killdeer wile out for a walk on Sunday morning. I was actually walking rather slowly while trying to take a shot of a heron, and noticed this little guy hopping around on the ground after the heron flew off. I am a bit surprised how close I was able to get to him (or her). 1/1000sec, f5.6 ISO1400

I am glad that I saw the Killdeer on the ground rather than flying, as it was easy to see (and capture) all the beautiful markings. And it made it quite easy to identify in my bird book.

While I snapped photos, the Killdeer hoped around and kept extending its neck up and down, reminding me of the movements that a pigeon makes.
