On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me... a mockingbird in a pine tree. (They pose so nicely). #birdpics #longislandbirding #birdphotographer #mockingbird

Random #northernharrier shows up near the beach. A nice runner-up prize when you don't find the owl you were hoping to see. #nybirding #longislandbirding #birdphotography #nature

Bitter cold at Jones Beach this morning. Before i took these pics i had to run back to my car like a wimp and shove hand warmers into my gloves. But it was so nice to be out and seeing these loons swimming and diving. In the first pic i THINK the loon on the left has a tiny fish. #loons #nybirding #birdphotography #birdphotographer #longislandbirding
