Birds Eyes And Butterflies

Stuyvesant Cove is a small local park in the East Village right on the East River. Much care is taken in the landscaping and excellent gardening and there are many wildflowers and special trees. These pictures were all taken with my macro lens on a hot Sunday afternoon. Select below for more information about Stuyvesant Cove

Attended the annual Jamaica Bay Shore Bird Festival Sunday August 9, 2009. There were over a hundred people watching the various shore birds on their annual Jamaica Bay stopover during their migration to the South. The pictures here are mainly semipalmated sandpipers and some short-billed dowitchers in flight over the East Pond at Jamaica Bay.

Attended a really good macro workshop Saturday August 1 given by Lloyd Spitalnik and Sandy Spitalnik at Ward Pound Ridge on macro photography and shooting insects.
Here are some of the pictures.
