My Column: State Line Hawk Watch
A view of State Line Lookout and the Hudson River beyond in Alpine. By Jim WrightSpecial to The Record |…
"There's a mighty tame Pied-billed Grebe that's been hanging around
Garret Mountain for the past few days … like 400mm on a crop body close.
This is full frame on a 600mm with a slight crop for framing … so less
focal length than a 7D with a 400mm f/5.6.
"Garret Mountain is jumping these days … B&w and Palm warblers, R.C. Kinglets, Brown Thrashers, Eastern Towhees, Green Herons, Black Caps, Red-bellied woodpeckers, and so much more … oh … and one Osprey hunting
(successfully but too far away for a shot)." (Thanks, Roy!)
So adorable! Great shot!
I didn’t know they had wings.
