A small group of enthusiastic bird photographers met at the north end of Central Park to practice bird photography techniques. We had beautiful light, mild fall weather, and a lovely backdrop of foliage to bring out our creativity. Almost immediately a cooperative Palm Warbler hopped out and offered looks for several minutes at the edge of the pool. A Blue-headed Vireo near the boardwalk offered more of a challenge, but also granted several opportunities to try for a shot. Everyone came away with some camera tips as well as inspiration for their next outing.
