The Place to “Beak”; Photographing Birds in Winter
On a recent trip to the Adirondacks in upstate NY, I spent a considerable amount of time parked in a snowbank in front of my neighbor’s house. My neighbors are kind enough to let me squat in their yard so that I can photograph some of their winged visitors, as they happen to have some very busy, very popular bird feeders. The kind of bird feeders that get good word of beak and whose positive reviews transcend species.
Spring has yet to bloom in this part of New York, so it’s hard not to marvel at the bright yellow flash of a flock of Evening Grosbeaks against the piles of snow and gray tree trucks as they swoop in for a hearty breakfast of sunflower seeds. But they weren't the only ones crowding around the breakfast buffet: Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Black-capped Chickadees and Red Squirrels were all in attendance.
While I wouldn’t consider myself a birding photographer, I can’t think of a more relaxing way to spend a winter morning than watching the mad flutter of wings and flurry of flying seeds while bird song and chatter echo through the forest.
As always, check out some of the photos below and enjoy!
Camellia
I photographed Camellia this year to commemorate her first birthday.
Camellia, named after the flower, is one of the sweetest babies I have ever photographed. I have to admit that I am biased though, she is my niece.
The photography session wasn’t without it’s hiccups, interrupted by my furry dog, Talbot, looking for a treat and some miscommunication with Camellia about naptime, but overall we had a great session.

Girls on the Run
Every Spring I look forward to photographing Girls on the Run. This was my second time photographing the event at York College and the positive energy, high spirits and sense of community emanating from the runners, supporters, coaches and volunteers is contagious. I always leave the course with a smile on my face and feeling a little bit better about the world.
