near me is a raptor rehabilitation center. They attempt to rehabilitate raptors who have been injured, although not all can be released. Here is a red tailed hawk. It was challenging to take photos because they were behind a steel mesh surrounding the enclosures. I had to make use of DOF so that the mesh was not as noticeable, although obviously the mesh softens the images, these are with the 50-200 & EC14

Pam, You do a great job with the humming birds! Please keep them coming! The nice smooth green background sets them of well.

Thanks for showing Brad. It's a good deed this place does.

I would never have noticed the mesh if you hadn't mentioned it. Good job.

Brad, the second shot is a wall hanger!

Brad Ross · May 31, 2015

George. wood ducks I think are the most beautiful ducks that we have, great capture. The redwing black birds are abundant here in NJ. Today I saw one the was chasing a great blue heron out of its territory and kept after it for a 100 feet or so,,

Brad Ross · May 31, 2015

great lens and great image!

Brad Ross · May 31, 2015

nice series, these guys have been hanging around my feeders, they really like the safflower feeder

Brad Ross · May 31, 2015

Milt, it is great that species can make a come back. Enjoy seeing other herons that we do not get in NJ, tricolor is especially nice to view

Excellent series, Paul. The Nikon lens is very sharp, especially at the comparatively slow shutter speeds you used. Any reason for that?
