Birds photography

One of the most popular genres of nature photography is bird photography. This should come as no surprise since birding is one of the world’s most popular pastimes!
By their nature, birds live in the moment and many have spent a lifetime of moments enjoying them for what they are; harbingers of song and flight, beauty and grace. Photographing birds is an extension of a life-long admiration for these beautiful creatures that always entertain with their behaviors and delight with their songs. To see a pair of Golden Eagles scribing easy circles about the walls of Yosemite is, simply, grand beyond words. To hear a flock of Evening Grosbeaks fill the air with their song on a summer eve is one of nature’s most delightful concerts.
Bird photography is a very challenging but fascinating endeavor, requiring specialized skillsets and equipment – one does not simply pick up the camera used for family vacation photos and capture compelling avian images. On contrary, having the best possible photographic gear for the task does not ensure success either. It seems the most successful bird photographers are not only skilled photographic technicians, but also have a thorough understanding of avian behavior, attitude and habitat. Most importantly, they all have a deep love and appreciation for their subjects. And above all, they have patience!
