p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · A cloud of Pine Siskin


Just as the sun was setting at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge here in New York City a 6 foot diameter ball of erratic blurs approached me. My first thought was starlings yet it did not look right. I pointed my camera into the flock and took a few small bursts as they passed close to me.

Wow and some of them don't use their wings to fly they are more like rockets?

#1 looks like flying fish to me Morris and some birds mixed in!
#4 is lovely sir
Take care

Flying fish!

Nice to see one of the wings open from the back.

#1 and #4 for me. In the first i particularly like the different wings positions, some with them opened, some not. Congrats.

Exciting, and loved the last one. Siskins are everywhere this year, which is way cool.
