My sports shooting has slowed down quite a bit and last week I dropped off both of my cameras at the Canon Service Center in Irvine for a good sensor cleaning before my trip to Lake Havasu. So when I picked them up on Thursday I decided to hit the road early today and see if I can do a little bird shooting.
There is a site / forum I frequent, which has various photographer's who live locally posting shots of the Forster's Tern and Black Skimmer at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. So I thought I go out with my buddies (cameras), who I missed very much, and see what I could get. My focus was the Terns and Skimmers.
So take a look at what I ended up with and let me know if my adventure was successful. I think it was.
The Great Heron
A few shots of the Green Heron.
One of the birds I really wanted to capture in flight and doing it's thing, which is skimming the water, is the Black Skimmer. I have to say for this being my first time trying to capture this bird in pictures I was very happy with the results. It is very interesting watching this bird skim the water as it flies.
These are just gorgeous, Jim! Outstanding shots!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so great!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I always get so excited when you post your new material.
ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful shots. I am going to be visiting So Cal next weekend and I was thinking about shooting at B.C. and I just came across your work. One thing, the Green Heron is a Black-Crowned Night Heron. Congratulations on some great captures.
