I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.

You make the birds more beautiful. I bet this guy would just love his photo if he could see it.

We do have some nice light both early and then late, which is also the times the birds are most active. So sometimes it all works out. Thanks Maggie!

This is such a gorgeous photo, Phil. I almost feel I can reach out and stroke those lovely golden feathers, but best not, I suppose. 🙂

I have seen some of these guys especially the youngsters like this one just lay around where you can walk right up to them and practically pet one. There was one that was always trying to get into people’s cars. I don’t think that one wanted to work for a living, he wanted to live the pampered life of a house cat. 🙂

He looks bronzed. it is the light, which is beautiful. He also looks graceful for a bird that probably isn’t always so!

The morning light can often be very pleasant out there near the beach. The brown pelicans are nice flyers but when fishing, they hit the water like they were just tossed from a moving vehicle. 🙂
