I just finished updating my guide to photographing shorebirds at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Gateway National Recreation Area, Queens, New York City, NY. If you purchased one from me already, as promised, email me and I will send you an updated version of this ebook completely for free🤩

In this version, I added my newest strategy that I’ve been using for past 2 seasons to photograph birds there, page 23. I mention how and where I’m getting this kind of shots there - page 24. I also include links to my 2019-2021 Location Updates where I shared frequent reports from my outings.

As always, here is a vertical crop of the same photograph:
