Trip Report-New Jersey-Bird Gallery 2

Now all the sea birds are out of the way, I will finish the bird galleries with some birds taken in a State park close to where i was staying, I wasnt expecting any of these so they were all a bonus, Most shot from the car with the aid of a beanbag to support the D3 and 600/extender combo

Cedar Waxwings

Northern Mocking bird who seemed to like the noise from the camera and not only came right up to the car to get a better view but also followed me down the road when i moved-see 2nd image

American Robins

Northern Cardinal (cropped from Landscape mode)

Catbird (i had never heard of one either) looks like a European Blackcap on steriods

House Finch male and female

So there you have it, The target bird was the Harlequin duck and everything else was a bonus and i must say it was a very productive trip, The very last gallery from the trip will be the fox gallery and after that i promise you some beaver shots!!

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
