An unhappy raven chick, wanting more food. But—in this clip, it looks like it’s eating something left in the nest. Deposited, per the previous post? Leftovers? Random pecking? I can't tell. (Aside: I was using a back-up tripod (because reasons). It reminded me of why I spent a fair amount of money on a good one…) #birds#wildlifePhotography#birdCPP#wildlifeVideo
I spent a while this afternoon with my camera on a tripod pointed at the raven's nest on the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. (Aside: I had thought there were two chicks, but I only saw one. Either I was wrong, the other has fledged, or it met with some mishap.) Here are two parental visits where I did not see the chick being fed—but see the video in the next post. Also note the chick playing with some dried grass. #birds#wildlifePhotography#birdCPP
The wolves were rarely seen at the moment. During the week in Finland, we were lucky one morning and were able to observe 3 animals at dusk.

Finally: a Swainson's thrush, a bay-breasted warbler, and a water thrush—I'm not sure if it's a northern or a Louisiana water thrush. #birds#wildlifePhotography#birdCPP
Oh, what the heck; let me post more now. All at the Pool in NYC's Central Park: a male and a female common yellowthroat warbler, a magnolia warbler, and a black-throated blue warbler. #birds#wildlifePhotography#birdCPP
Help, Mastodon! What's your fav camera &why? (I do wildlife, mushroom detail occasional sports photos) I have a Panasonic DMC FZ28, which I ❤ but want a bit of an upgrade. Trying to decide whether to try a different company or no.
Under or ~$600 😬
A few of my pictures from yesterday (more coming tomorrow…). The first three are from Central Park in NYC: a great egret that has just speared a fish on both parts of its beak (Harlem Meer), a spotted sandpiper (Pool), and a black-and-white warbler (also Pool). Last, at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, two common raven chicks in a nest behind St. Andrew's head. They're getting big! #birds#wildlifePhotography#birdCPP
In Finland I was able to observe and photograph bears in the wild for the first time. It was a special sight, especially in the snow.
