Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
The North Georgia Photography Club hired Earthquest to bring in a set of wild birds that can not be released into the wild again. We had a couple of hours to photograph them. We did this in the late afternoon, and as the sun set, the light and shadows became tricky to handle. I took all of these pictures with my big telephoto lens, so in some cases I have to back off to 30 feet from the bird. It was great fun.
