take intimate photos of birds, allows me to edit
them by computer, then share them on line!"

January was a memorable month behind the camera among the feathered ones! |
These are Paul's newest digital photos, all taken during January in urban wildlife areas in his neighborhood: Some neighborhood, eh?
Paul Konrad uses Canon cameras, lenses, and other Canon photo equipment exclusively - and always has!
What luck this guy Konrad has among
the birds of the world. He says he's most
happy on a sunny day with his camera
and telephoto in hand in a birdy realm!
- We believe him!

I try to capture some
degree of action in
my photos, but it's
rare to get a
combination of sharp
feather detail mixed
with a flurry of flight
at the wingtips of
this Long-billed
Curlew taking flight.

Who would believe me if I told
them I saw a yellow bird with a
red head and black wings - in the
parking lot at work? A remarkable
songbird - a male Western
Tanager - gave me a memorable
opportunity to photograph it!

Warblers are among the
hardest birds to
photograph - but luck was
with me when I
encountered this young
Yellow-rumped Warbler
standing amid a stonefield.

Aptly named, swifts are among the
fastest, most agile birds in the sky.
An hour spent among a flock of
White-throated Swifts recently
underlined their avian artistry and
their ability to glide in a windless
realm - or one in which they are
super-propelled by blustery winds.
Trying to photograph these master
gliders gives proof to the reasons
why so few photographers have
stopped their actions in mid-flight.
Swifts have become a favorite
species during many encounters in
the field during the past 2 years.

as much Falconiformes.

A wildlife photographer
must always be ready for
a secretive species to
pop out of a thicket to
reveal itself as a photo
subject, such as this
trusting Large-billed
Savanah Sparrow.
