Prentice Park birding.




(Top) Great Blue Heron (adult) fishing along the shoreline. Note the "silver flash" of a fish in it's bill. (Middle) Ring-Billed Gull who flew through the frame as I was shooting the Great Blue Heron. (Bottom) I believe this is an American Black Duck (more later).

How far are you when you take these? Are they unafraid of people?

hey, I'm ready to hit the beach. The hotel has a open computer so I thought I would check and see if you're ready to go do a little beach birding? :)

Would you believe I'm stealthy?

Actually I use a long telephoto and "zoom in" in Photoshop.

The Great Blue Heron was 75-100 yards away. The duck 30-40 yards away. The gull I sneezed when he went by.
