Photographed on the same day as the Blue Jays in the previous post, these male Northern Cardinals were kind enough to stop by while I was testing my new CamRanger wireless controller.

Not certain if it is because of the lack of snow-cover here in the New York Capital Region which has left plenty of food for the birds in the woods, but Northern Cardinal sightings have been scarce so far this Winter. These were the first I've seen in weeks, which is unusual.

All images photographed with the Canon 7D Mark II and Canon EF 100-400 F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens on a tripod using the CamRanger wireless controller as a trigger and post processed in Adobe Lightroom CC.

Have a great day!

Capital District, however the sunlight is making it feel warmer than it is and and the mood is not as gray and glum. Spring is just around the corner!

February in the Capital District has been punctuated with bouts of cold stormy weather interspersed with days of unseasonably warm weather that melts our snow pack. The birds have been arriving in large groups or none at all. On this day, over a half dozen Northern Cardinals visited within ten minutes then moved on.

The weather has been cold and wet the last several weeks. I have been catching up on post-processing of January photos. Above is a close-up portrait of a female Northern Cardinal in a light snow.

I have added a new tool to my photo bag; the CamRanger wireless camera controller. While we have been mostly without snow this Winter in the New York Capital Region, the temperatures have been seasonal nonetheless. With the CamRanger, the camera can be placed outdoors within 150 - 300 feet of my location indoors, and then I can shoot from the comfort of my sofa using either the iPad or iPhone.

The images here were my first attempt at using the CamRanger. Photographed with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400 F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens, the images here were all shot off of a tripod and remotely triggered with the CamRanger.

Thanks for stopping by today!

It has been dark and gloomy day in the Capital District. While working on the year-end clean-up of my Lightroom catalog I came across an image of some flowers in the mid-day Summer sun that I thought would work well as a background to one of my winter bird photos and add some color and warmth to the day. Above is the result of some quick editing.

Pileated Woodpecker in Spring

I have been seeing a lot of woodpecker sign this Spring and every once in awhile I spook the Pileated Woodpeckers while walking the dog...there is always two. On this late sunny afternoon in early April, my son happened to notice that we had a visitor on the tree stump in the backyard. I managed to grab the camera and start taking a few photos through the glass window in our backdoor.

Another week in the NorthEast and another Nor'Easter providing the white winter background well into March. On this weekend in early March we had a number of House Finch visiting.
