No expectations today going to the Jersey shore....but I did come away with some nice viewing although the photography was only of the documentary type.
I've been trying to get decent photos of peregrine falcons for some time now but haven't been able to get anywhere near enough to get a good shot. I did manage to get a couple at a distance today (these are all at least 100% crops)...but at least I can identify them as peregrines. Also had a cooper's hawk, northern harrier and then an osprey fly by. All in all not bad for mid afternoon birding.
One day I'm hoping for an opportunity to get something more than a dot in the viewfinder but at least I'm getting closer.

5 Mick Jaguar....this jaguar has become a star...a recent series of photos by Justin Black has gone "viral". We named this cat back in June being the first to see and photograph/document him. You can see how shy and unassuming he is

#4 and the jag for me Eric. Seeing a peregrine in the wild would be cool as, even from a good distance. Still waiting.

Very nice set, Eric. Osprey and Jaguar are 2 very fast hunters on land and water. Definitely we have to count the speedy falcon. Beautiful capture.

While your day may not have given you the full frame fill , you did get some nice shots Plus, you got to see some beautiful birds. I have never seen a peregrine , would love to. Looks like the osprey is giving you the eye ! Love the last shot of the osprey .

Magnificent looking jaguar .

I feel for you buddy. I have one shot of a Peregrine, and it's just close enough to tell what it is. The Ospreys and the big kitty are very nice though ~ Ron

peregrines are tough eric, they can move super fast! you did well with the osprey though, and the cat was a nice surprise as well.

Nice job on these IF shots. Patience and perseverance will give you the shots of a Peregrine you are looking for. I hope it will be very soon

Dots dot Eric. Both osprey photos are strong and of then there is the leopard which looks great though you might want to darken the leaves in the sun on the left.

Eric, these may not have the same level of detail as peregrine images shot while hiding in a secret location, but I have yet to see a peregrine in the wild, yet alone capture an image, so I'm impressed! I'm also impressed by Mick, but for a different reason...he looks small, almost playful in this image; guess you need a caiman in the frame to judge relative size!

Keep 'em coming! ~Greg

Splendid set Eric! Mother Nature's finest flying machine depicted in the first two is a pleasure to see. All are good and the last two are my favorite. Nice job!
