p.1 #1 · An assortment from Oceanside, NY

The Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, NY is one of my faverate preserves in the New York Metro Area. The manager is a photographer and has set the preserve up with many perches, observation points and hedges that can be used as blinds. Being in such a dense area many of the birds are tolerant of people allowing for close observation. Here are some images I took a couple of weeks ago under smoky skies.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

I like the energy in #1, pretty cool grab

YCNH and Willet are excellent though for me the YCNH shot is a bit tight perhaps?
