Another trip to the Pyrenees for some vulture shooting. As in 2012, we had 2 days with a vulture feeding session seeing Griffon Vultures, Black Vultures and – of course – several Lämmergeier. Furthermore we had a session for a Golden Eagle pair on the third day. Haven’t worked out all my pictures I took, […]

I totally forgot about the later afternoon pictures from the recent US trip. Some nice shots of the Bald Eagle’s nest with the adult sitting in. The late afternoon light was giving these pictures a much nicer look than the morning pictures. The above gives an impression on the nest size.

Going to Hamden for a short late morning view. The Ospreys are same as the other days. One is sitting on the nest, the other one “gone fishing”. The Bald Eagle nest was busy for 30 minutes. The chick got some food. Again they flew on the other side of the trees, so no […]

Very cloudy weather in the afternoon and not good light. Anyway trying out the Osprey and Bald Eagle spot. One of the Bald Eagles from Hamden nest was also close to the Osprey nest, flying at the other side of the lake. Two in-flight scenes left from the visit. Both Ospreys flew suddenly off and […]

Some shots of the Ospreys from one of the docks. Unfortunately the one on the pole didn’t want to move out.

Another drive to Hamden, looking for the Bald Eagle’s nest. On the way to there, I found another interesting place with an Osprey pair on a nest. In the afternoon I had another look at the Bald Eagle’s nest. With the Monk Parakreets they do have some annoying neighbors making a lot of noise. […]

A 90 minutes drive to Stateline Lookout from Shelton. Wanted to see whether there would be some photographer’s I’ve met before there and whether there would be some Bald Eagles still. Nice Peregrine perching when I arrived. Not much else going on, so another try at Lake Tappen but besides some other birds, more […]

Another business trip to USA North-East. This time I stay in Shelton, CT. After some investigations I found 2 places which could be worth to visit for possible Bald Eagle shots, knowing that the season is already over and most of them have moved north again. In the morning hours I drove to Southbury which […]
Lake Tappan (Sonntag 3. März 2013)
Früh morgens zum Lake Tappen. Ziemlich viele Wolken und wenig Aktivität. Das sollte sich ab Mittag ändern… Der Rotkardinal gesellte sich dazu. Ist keine sonderlich gute Aufnahme, aber immerhin. Zunächst die D2x Bilder vom Mittag. Da war was los. Bis zu 12 Weißkopfseeadler gleichzeitig in der Luft. Die Adulten kommen leider nicht nah genug an […]
