Kensington Metro Park Birds

I stopped by Kensington Metro Park this afternoon after work. I intended to check the place out and then come back later to explore it a little better. My plans changed when I was fortunate enough to meet a fellow photographer named Dan. After a short discussion he offered to take me to see Sandhill Cranes! I was very excited because I have always wanted to get shots of them. Along the way he showed me several great trails that had tons of very friendly birds. Here are a few shots from today. Thanks Dan!

Bluebird

This is the first time that I have been able to take a photo of a Bluebird, I was suprised to see a pair of them while I was sampling in Howell today. It's not the best pic but it shows how bright the colors are on these little birds.

Thank you Kari

This photo was taken by Kari while we were in Erie Metro Park. A great shot by a great person! Good Job Kari!

Birds

These are some of the birds that I have been able to photograph over the last couple weeks. Hopefully as spring marches on I will be able to get some of the more colorfull birds.

The Moon

This is my first attempt at taking a photo of the moon. I took it at Riverside Park in Ecorse, there was a bit too much light pollution, and shivering by me but I think it turned out ok. I can not wait until the next full moon to get back out and try it again!

North Pier Lighthouse

This is the North Pier Lighthouse in St. Joseph, Michigan. While I was there sampling, Chris and I were able to get out after working very long, VERY cold/windy days to get some great shots of the lighthouse. The conditions were horrible, but it's funny how you don't feel quite as cold when you have something like this to look at.

Mallards

I finally was able to get some decent shots with my new 70-300mm lens! I am very excited, after several failed attempts I was starting to doubt that I would ever get some good shots. Hope you enjoy!
