Here are some of my favorites in my first week of photographing birds! Feedback welcome!

Edit: shooting with the Sony a6700 & Sony 200-600

The bird on the left is all gray and it was taken just like this. Is this a weird camera thing or are can gulls just be gray? (To be more specific the feet and beak)

This is a juvenile Turkey Vulture that I found today at my local gardens. It was really cool to see and get a few pictures.

Spent a few minutes with this Common Yellowthroat out in the hot weather - Sony A1 + 200-600mm

Whidbey Island, WA

I’m also new to identifying birds so with the aid of an app and a bird book I identified the first as a female blackbird and the second is a Rock Pipit.

The blackbird was taken at sunset and I wanted to capture the bird half in the shadow and half in the golden glow.

I’m quite pleased with my first attempt but I know there is always room for improvement.

Taken with a Canon 70D and Canon L-Series 100-400m.

Tens of thousands of Sooty Terns visit the island off the coast of Florida to have their babies each year. The colony was noisy and busy, and it was quite wonderful seeing so many feathered families.

Sorry for low ress quality, I recovered it. I did it on my Nikon d7100 with 55-300mm lens. Photo was almost 230% cropped.

My first time seeing a Male Peacock in full display. What a magnificent sight he was!

We have no wild ones in the UK as far as I’m aware
