Morningside Park Photos 9/29/13

One my main goals for the morning was to shoot this Pectoral Sandpiper. Morningside Park, 9/29/13.

Every once in a while I just need to go do some birding in a location that is likely to provide plenty of photo opportunities. Morningside Park is perfect for this, as long as you are birding by kayak. I arrived at the park right after sunrise to take advantage of the beautiful early morning light; for me, you cannot beat early morning light for beautiful photos. There was a misty fog on the surface of the lake that I also find appealing but difficult to translate into photos. I was pleased with the results, there were plenty of birds to shoot and the fall colors were reflecting off the water wonderfully.

This Common Yellowthroat could not have been more cooperative, Morningside Park, 9/29/13. I am loving the background on this shot.

I don't love the light on this Green Heron, but I love all the colors reflecting in the water. Morningside Park, 9/29/13. — I don’t love the light on this Green Heron, but I love all the colors reflecting in the water. Morningside Park, 9/29/13.

Matt, all of your shots are great! The color on the Yellowthroat is especially nice. Glad you are enjoying Morningside, one of my favorites as well. John

Thanks John, I like the colors on the Yellowthroat too. I’m glad you turned me on to the park; it’s a great place for birds and photos too.

Matt, all of these photos are so impressive! Do you have any of them for sale? Love, AK
