The Long Island Wildlife Photography group appears to be making the best of a tough situation and capturing some fantastic wildlife shots as the spring migration is in full swing. Early April is a great time to see a mixture of new arrivals along with the winter ducks and loons starting to show breeding plumage. We also have a few more weeks of great visibility before leaf growth makes finding things a little tougher.
Some notable finds this week include American Oystercatchers, Harp and Gray Seals, Baltimore Oriole, Pine Warbler, Eastern Phoebe and diving Northern Gannets including a great video from Daryl Ramrattan.
This week’s cover goes to Brian Doherty and thanks to Jim Botta for helping pick out the photos. Try to check out all 8 pages and stay safe!
