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.

From time to time, a single golden eagle came by to secure some of the carrion. This was always heralded by great commotion among the ravens, who all scampered off and took cover in the trees.
