I shoot in digital and mostly have used a Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 100-400mm IS L-series zoom lens, often with a 1.4X teleconverter, always hand-held. Beginning in the fall of 2021, I have been using an Olympus OMD E-M5 III mirrorless Micro Four Thirds (MFT) body with an Olympus 100-400mm IS zoom lens.
My bird photos have been published in The New York Times, The Cape Cod Times , The Martha's Vineyard Times and The Vineyard Gazette. They are extensively used in slide presentations and in print media by non-profit conservation organizations. I have been published in Birder's World magazine, in Bird Observer and on the covers of two recent books about birds and wildlife on Martha's Vineyard Island.
What first turned me on to taking photos of bird life were two inspiring events: having the New York Times Science Times publish my photograph, taken over the bow of my kayak, of three very out-of-season Razorbills spending the summer of 2001 on Menemsha Pond, Chilmark, on Martha's Vineyard; and the appearance of the now famous, to bird watchers at least, Red-footed Falcon that the late Vern Laux discovered near the Katama Airport on Martha's Vineyard in August of 2004.
