Birds at Staten Island

2023-02-072023-02-08Sherry Felix

We went on a winter birding trip with The Linnaean Society of New York – The Linnaean Society of New York (linnaeannewyork.org) led by Richard ZainEldeen to several locations on Staten Island, New York. It was a lovely trip and it was so nice seeing many of my birding friends. I wasn’t able to photograph many of the birds. Here are a few of the larger ones that I managed to snap. I replaced the skies on most with one of mine and moved the turkey from the road at Silver Lake’s Park to into a landscape at Wolfe’s Pond.

Exquisite photographs Sherry – Wolfe’s Island looks so desolate and that picture of the Peregrine Falcoln is sublime.

Your bird photos are wonderful and a joy to look at. Guess everyone was out for to get sunrise photos.

  Thanks Cee. I changed the skies. It was not sunrise. The skies were blown out and needed a fix.

I especially like the geese. The ice looks relatively thin, but of course they’re light enough to be able to sit or walk on it.
