Thinkin' Spring

By JIM NIGRO

Maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit, itching to see a robin, or the first flock of geese in migratory formation.  Whatever the reason, I thought it a good time to pass along these photos taken by Mark Stryker of Alexander.  With the exception of the Scrub Jay pictured above, these photos were taken last summer near his Alexander home.

I'd like to thank Mark for sharing these awesome photos with the Batavian

Howard B. Owens

Great photos, Jim. Thanks for asking Mark to share with us. I'd love to be able to take photos like this. Any idea what he's using for a lens on these?

Thanks Howard, Mark will appreciate that. I believe he shoots Canon equipment. The top photo was taken with a 10x zoom, while the others may have been 20x.
