明天去Westchester,准备去Croton Point Park.

Croton Point Park, Croton-on-Hudson

    Croton Point Park is one of the top places to bird in Westchester. Bald Eagles can be found here easily in winter.  The capped landfill, once the feeding grounds for thousands of gulls is now the star attractant for birds year round. It is now home to Eastern Meadowlark and Bobolink in the summer.

    Fall and winter bring in many hawks such as American Kestrel and Northern Harrier. Look for Rough-legged Hawk in flight years and an occasional Short-eared Owl.

    The landfill, now meadow, is great for sparrows in the fall, with Song, Savannah and White-throated the most common. All the other eastern sparrows may also show up and have included Vesper, Grasshopper and Henslow's Sparrows.

    Look for American Pipit in the fall and winter, Bald Eagles in the trees, on ice flows or overhead in winter. Another great spot for eagle watching is a small parking lot at the very southern end of the Croton Train Station, past the maintenance hut. Look for eagles in the trees just right of the Route 9 bridge and in the opposite direction in the trees right of the landfill.  

    Waterfowl in Croton Bay during fall and winter include Scaup, Common Merganser, Common Goldeneye and Bufflehead. The marsh to the south is difficult to access but can have Virginia and Sora Rails in migration. The pines south of the landfill can hold Great Horned Owls.

Jamaica Bay，600mm第一次拍到了小鸟，虽然不是很完美，但起码sharp了。。哈。。。看到了两只鱼鹰，还有一只鹞。

Woodpecker

Hawk?

rolling就是滚蛋呀。。。哈。。。把蛋翻一翻，平均受热吧。。。

最近正在琢磨这几个英文词是什么意思？

rolling 滚蛋？踩蛋？揉蛋？
brooding 孵蛋？
breeding 繁殖？

还有几个问题：是有蛋在先还是做窝在先？也就是他们什么时候决定做窝？rolling,brooding是breeding的一部分？还是rolling,brooding and breeding是三个不同的阶段？

原来翅膀里面有三，四层呀。



这滴水太难得了。



这倒影拍得太绝了。



我觉得天鹅拍得最好的是卖水的鱼。

天鹅，现在求偶期，一群天鹅在争风吃醋。。。哈。。搞得很大动静，可惜，我对这个兴趣不大，没有多拍。

其他的。

还有。

再来。

我觉得XL H1 现在太贵了，要连原厂标变要七千多米，要加转接环的，看价格：

很遗憾的是转接环是有镜片组成的，那么加装后成像肯定会打折扣，而且我有一个不满意的地方是，什么高清？还是用MiniDV带，与以往DV一样13G容量的东西，虽说是改进了的编码，但是我觉得还是松下，索尼专业机用插卡的好。

我十五岁的时候就扛着比这台还要大的摄像机通街跑了

我从没摸过录像机，今天又去了Riverside Park， 又看到了那两只鹰，星期日停车很容易，看来我要每星期都去了。

我曾经也想过，至今还是在想，迟一两年看来就能实现。XL H1 如果用Canon的镜头的话，应该能自动对焦。

更正，郁闷，我给这编文章累死了，原来该款并不能换镜头的，要XL H1才能够换镜头的，认真滴郁闷:XL H1太大了。

佳能 XL H1装上 尼康600mm大炮的样子

德国：
是啊，是啊，结婚了就没有时间拍照了，例如要生孩子什么的

zixian:
要求这么简单啊

教你一个办法，最近我看上这个，不过我觉得现在的价格还是有点高要$3200左右，$2500比较合理。这个东西的焦距，如果用上135的镜头就要乘上七倍，如果你的Nikon300mm小炮装上去，将会变成2100mm，比德国最长那支还要长三倍以上

注：该摄像机采用的是佳能照相机的接口，是可以换镜头的。

喷饭。。。。。。。。。。这你也敢说。。。。
