"Pale Male" & "Lola" (wildlife photography)
« on: May 29, 2010, 12:53:52 PM »
I just read an interesting story about a guy named Lincoln Karim who spends almost everyday in Central Park, NYC photographing wildlife, and mostly photographing 2 hawks, "Pale Male" and "Lola" that live on an expensive apartment building facing Central Park. 

I found his website, and his photos are amazing.  The "archive" goes year-by-year, and then if you click a photo under a certain date, it will open a new page with several photos all taken on that given day.  Start at 2010 and work your way backwards. 

Here is a random shot I thought was cool, but you guys might enjoy spending a bit of time browsing his site and checking out the photos.  They are really great.

Cool. Finding where they live makes it nice. I have found a hawks nest but I have not asked permission to go on the land to photograph them yet.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

I know where a nest is near my house.  It is on private land in a stand of trees, but not very far from the road, and from the fence you have a clear shot to the nest with no trees or anything to block the view. In fall and winter, I can look and check their nest to see if it is occupied as I drive by...
