The picture of this Ruby-crowned Kinglet was taken at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. The picture of this Ruby-crowned Kinglet was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the 100-400mm lens.The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is one of my favorite birds to photograph and one of the most difficult since it is so small and always on the move.

The picture of this male Ruddy Duck in breeding plumage was taken at Stuyvesant Cove on the East River in New York Ctiy. This picture was taken with the Canon EOS7D with the Canon 100-400mm lens.
I was so pleased to be able to get a picture of this very handsome Ruddy Duck at the Stuyvesant Cove Park just a few blocks from my home. This is a good example of a stiffed-tail duck.

I just love when the Tree Swallows take over the air space at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and the opportunity to get them in flight is a special challenge for me.
