I make whales and photograph birds. Bugs and flowers and fungi too.

My #Airborne #Seabird for #BirdOfTheDay is a gull of uncertain species, photographed in the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge with the shutter too slow.

My #elegant bird for #birdoftheday is an unlikely one: a Common Grackle displaying its iridescence while bathing. #birds

A Northern Mockingbird takes flight with an Osmanthus berry. Juveniles can be hard to identify because of the heavily speckled breast, but the white underwing patches give it away. Greenport, NY. #birds

These birds were willing to sit for portraits in Prospect Park, Brooklyn recently: Two Common Yellowthroats, a Gray Catbird and an Ovenbird. #birds
