The Meadowlands Shorebirds

Hello folks now that the empoundment had been lowered we can sample some fine viewing's of shorebirds like this Dunlin.

Fall is on the move

Yes as the Warbler's and Flycatchers migration diminish in number's, soon we will be ushering in Sparrows Raptors and others , last night though turned out less than stellar for migrants, but I did manage to squeeze out these beauties.

I wish they all come out this good!

If I had a perfect Digiscoped capture this one would have to be it. perfect contrast with a slight crop and minimal Sharpening heck, I probably could of got away with no Sharpening on this beauty of a House Wren also I'll through in a Lincoln's Sparrow for a Bonus.

Hofstra Park Migrants,

Yes my local jaunt was pretty good today with this Eastern Pheobe being the only Bird in the area, which led me to a conclusion for Fall Migrants.
Now Hofstra park is a ridge location which makes it far more in the Spring for migrants as the low land traps closer to the coast are better for the fall Sandy Hook, Mill Creek, Overpeck and so on .
My Two Week vacation starts on Wed which will be almost a solid Digiscoping adventure!!!
This will give me a chance at some sought after species such as Buff Breasted Sandpiper, Baird's Sandpiper, and anything else that happens to stumble in front of my scope.

The Odd couple

I would highly recommend Jamaica Bay Wildlife refuge for avid Digiscoper's the opportunity's are endless, believe me I'm there again!!!

Mid Day Hot and Humid capture"s

I am still trying to figure out my flaws with my last month or so of captures I think I lost a little of my Flickr fan base as one viewer pointed out my photos are not as good as they used to be Hmm. Can it be my editing skills are lacking? or my composition ? Or equipment flaws.
Maybe Humid conditions along with heat distortion, which leaves me puzzled and concerned considering all the passion I put into the art AM I WASTING MY TIME!!!
I am at the point were I thought a break would do me good which it did not, cause I feel I am in the same boat as before with my captures lacking in some way I feel.
Don"t get me wrong folks I'm not looking for an ego boost or pampering, just to find an answer to my dilemma and to get back on track, I put to much of my Heart into this to just roll over and fold.
