I started a new Facebook page less than two years ago called Long Island Wildlife Photography. Besides growing into a great community over 6000 strong, it has allowed me to meet and become friends with a diverse group of great photographers all over the Island.
It is a also a great place to learn and many of the members are happy to share their knowledge of wildlife as well as photography tips. If you have an interest I encourage you to join, all are welcome including beginners.
One of the more active and talented members is Brian Doherty from Massapequa, a life long resident of the Island that has a special knack for capturing images between Robert Moses and Jones Beach.
Although it is hard to believe after seeing his work, Brian only got into photography a little over two years ago.
These images were all taken during the Fall Migration over the last several weeks, enjoy!
