Definetly in the wild, down in the Catskill Mountains area near the Rondout Reservoir. I spent a few days there for work.

Here's another bird pic.

Wow simply amazing to get that close! Uh oh! If you're on that side of the sign though, how did they charge you?

[Eddiebauer]

They gave me a written warning that meant nothing. I was in the process of shooting the sunset across the reservoir. I quess since 911 they have had stepped up security. The cops were only about 20yrs old but very polite and professional. Whats funny is when I took the pic of the sign it was about 4pm and I was passing by heading to my hotel and stopped and seen the birds. I came back about 8pm and setup for the sunset up on a hill overlooking the reservoir. I was no where near the dam or the water. They saw my truck and came looking for me, they said they saw me earlier taking pics. I guess they are just doing their job.

What kind of lens did you use to get that close?

Oh, David.....you quack me up.

With birds, I always use the 'cheep' lens and 'crop' tight.

Don't you follow my 'tweets'?
