 Osprey

Black-Crowned Night Heron

A pair of mourning doves high up in a dead tree.

Another woodpecker shot I managed to get while shooting the Osprey shots.

I was out shooting some Osprey this morning when I saw these two woodpeckers flying around they landed and stayed for about 1 to 1 1/2 seconds and flew off. It was a quick shot but I did manage to get a photo of them.

Sunset at the marina in Long Beach, Mississippi

These are a couple of Osprey shots I got with my D90 and 70-300VR lens this week.

 Found this pair of Osprey today, I wonder if they have picked this tree out to build their nest. will check back in the future and see.

Found a flock of Ceder Waxwings last weekend.

Seen this Eagle on the back bay today. Didn't get a great shot but I don't see them very often so I took what I could get.

A visit to the Long Beach  Marina by a Blue Heron

Found a group of Robin's and Cedar Waxwings feeding on berries. The Waxwings were staying back to far. not the best conditions but did what I could.

This was taken with my Nikon D90 with my Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM . This is straight out of the camera without any adjustments except for re sizing to post it. This was taken on the beach in Biloxi, Mississippi and the building is the Beau Rivage Casino in the late afternoon about three months ago while Mark and I were out shooting.
