Bird Photography
I am a wildlife photographer, here are some bird images that I've captured here in the Lakes Region.

great shots
Those are super photos of the birds. Now I know who the red-headed guy is, the male house finch, who's been visiting my feeder!

Nothing prettier than a Waxwing

Wow, you must either have a really nice lens or be really sneaky!
|
cool
:)No, its no question, its the finch. We were wondering if it was a grosbeak. Thanks for the clarifcation!

Great photography. Makes my photos look like stick figure drawings.:emb: What equipment do you use if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks RLW for the kind words and welcome.
Lucy Goose, I checked out your site. Excellent work and the site looks and sounds great. You are very gifted. It tales a special person to do wedding photography. The stress would kill me.:( If you get a chance check out my buddy Gino Lucadamo's wedding site it's called Story by Photo and he is out of Scottsdale, AZ. I wish I had a 10th of his talent. |
I've seen your work before - very nice - and thanks for joining the forum and sharing these with us! Amazing photos - I'm just blown away at the detail you've captured.

Angry Peregrine Mom
This photo was taken 2 years ago by Chris Martin, the senior biologist at NH Audubon. This is the nestbox (called a scrape) for the Peregrine falcons in Manchester on top of Brady Sullivan Building. I have been very fortunate to have been invited by Chris to participate in the banding of the young Peregrine falcons (called eyases)... it can always be a bit tricky removing the chicks to band them, and then to return them to the nest if Mom gets anxious. In this photo you can see she was rather peeved!
Airedale1-during the summer come out to Poplar Island in Moultonboro Bay and watch the bald eagles as they raise their young. This will be third year for eaglets on Poplar. It's awesome. |

Eagles
Poplar is right across from Camp Tecumseh - owned by the camp actually, it's private, and nobody should step foot on it, because of nesting wildlife. However, you'll see many of us Forum folks out there: The Eagle, Sunset Bob, us ... I keep a running commentary and images for Chris Martin. In past 2 years the nest has been blown down by storms. The chicks (3 the first year, only 1 last year) all survived, although on land, not in trees. It's just so awesome to watch them. Also, PSNH has a video cam on an Osprey nest in New Hampton that Chris helped to move away from electrical wires:
http://www.psnh.com/Osprey/default.asp And there is also a cam on the Manchester Peregrines-only one chick this year: http://www.spectraaccess.com/falcon2/ Have fun! Donna |
Donna thank you very much for the info I look forward to seeing you all out there.

Wonderful Photography!
Airedale1, thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures! You are the kind of Forum member that helps make Winnipesaukee.com a great place to visit. :D
Thanks for the cool web links donnamatrix! |

Yet you openly admit that you do? and then to top it off you throw others under the bus with you?? This is the problem with people today, they know right from wrong. However they don't know how to control their impulses. When an Eagle gets pissed at you don't come looking for sympathy..... They have these things called Binoculars, and telephoto lens for camera's I use them all the time, it is a great way to view nature and live it in peace. |
Excuse me?
We are not ON the island, we are on our boats near the island. As a matter of fact, I am at the island expressly at the invitation of NH Audubon. We all use binoculars. We also help keep NHAudubon updated ... when the nest blew down last year, I was able to send Chris Martin photos to prove that it was gone, and he was out at the Island ASAP to ensure the chick was okay.
In the mean time, I have two words for you.... imagine what they might be. |
Quote:
You left yourself wide open to interpretation.... So don't you dare try and spurt two words at me unless you are ready to eat them..... Wording is everything when communicating in this media... if you had left that word "however" out of that sentence that brings a entirely new meaning to what you had to say. Don't get angry at me if you don't word something right. I have no way of knowing how you intend something to mean, I have to interpret it from the way it is written. Now on to other issues, if this island is not listed sanctuary, legally people don't have to stay off of it by the way....They simply need the owners permission to be on it....As I can only hope your Audubon friend has made sure he has done. |
Interpretation
Everything written or spoken is open to interpretation-you're right. HOWEVER, by stating it is private property, I felt I'd made it clear that people aren't supposed to traipse about on the land. I must be more circumspect in my fiuture comments. Thanks for your input.

A Very Pretty Bird, Too!
Quote:
Later, right near the water, I saw a female Cedar Waxwing pulling at something in branches: looking closer, I watched the same action repeated, and then saw the bird was picking off spiders on the web! :eek2: Some spiders were reluctant to depart their webs, and had the Cedar Waxwing pulling strongly—in reverse! :laugh: But by the time the Cedar Waxwing left, there were no spiders to be seen—where once, there had been many. I always wondered why birds (or bats) didn't choose the morsels that were "right in front of everybody". :confused: |
Indigo Bunting
Great Shots! I only wish I had the right camera to get a good picture of the Indigo Bunting we've had visit us several times this year. He is absolutely beautiful but unfortunately, my Nikon doesn't zoom in far enough and as soon as we open the screen he's gone :(
Very frustrating. I guess it's a good excuse to get a new camera :D |
Flickers, Juncos, and White-Throated Sparrows, Now Appearing...!
Quote:
Another opportunity for bird photography has just arrived with our cooler late-September temperatures! As is usually the case in Autumn, small clusters of Slate-Eyed Juncos are appearing in open areas around Lake Winnipesaukee. Remarkably, the Northern Flicker :eek2: which had been declining in numbers :( appears to have made a huge recovery—at least at the old Wolfeboro Airport. (Along with countless Juncos). A little later in October expect some White-Throated Sparrow songsters—who will be whistling their sad and plaintive, but beautiful calls into the surrounding forests there. Leave your ear-buds at home! ;) Look to the very end of Wolfeboro's Forest Road, where the forest opens up to expansive native-grass areas—but especially along roadway margins. Be aware that Northern Flickers are extremely wary of even a car's stealthy approach, but you can expect them to eventually return to whatever meal they (lately) have been finding there. :) |
Thank you for the tips, I will be sure to check those areas.

You Are Way Too Gullible...

Northern Flicker?

Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) Colaptes auratus
Very nice capture, I wish I had one in my files. |
I had never notice the flickers before but last week there were three of them on my lawn. Quite impressive.
|
Great Thread!
I've been trying to capture my winter wren without luck. I am pretty sure they nest behind our camp in the hill.
dragonfly03246, grab a chair and watch your feeder with your camera. You might get lucky and shoot one! |
Buh-Bye!

Most peoples' view is of Flickers departing! ;) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2614/...580_z.jpg?zz=1 |
Cedar or Bohemian Waxwing?

I'm sure I don't know.. but I bet Paul M will have the answer.
This guy (or gal) :), was hanging upside town in a tree over near Walter's Basin while we were waiting to go on our "Loon Cruise" yesterday. Attachment 6272 |
It is a Cedar Waxwing. Nice capture.
