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.

I was hoping I might get an alligator floating by because the water was the same color as the sky only more sparkly. 🙂 But most of our gators are done for the season. Always nice to see the birds though.

I am such a sucker for silhouette shots…especially against that beautiful colored backdrop. The fact that it’s nature just makes it all kind of miraculous.

Well I truly appreciate your very kind comments and I feel the same way about silhouettes. If it can’t be an alligator, a bird is nice too. 🙂

And here I thot it was a black pelican – yes terrible joke but couldn’t resist since you seem to have so many species there.
Fantastic shot. I like that you can even see orange in his beak.

Often at that time of day, everything out there is back lit so pretty much all the birds are black birds. I bet lots of photographers come back with quite a few (unintentional) silhouettes.
Thanks for the heads up on my comment to Dina. As you know, I have eagles on the brain tonight based on current developments. Now if I would have thanked her for commenting on the “penguin” silhouette, that would have made perfect sense. 🙂

Sometimes it’s worth sticking around to see if the sky looks interesting later plus it always helps if the birds stay as well. 🙂
