“It gave me a gift” is how bird and nature photographer Stephen Berger describes his shot of a curious mourning dove.
Sunrise and a Pelican at Sepulveda Basin. Green Heron at the Sepulveda Basin. Double Crested Cormorant at the Sepulveda Basin. Asked which of his photos is his favorite, Berger recalls, “I recently captured my favorite truly local image — a mourning dove ‘flying to camera’ in Topanga State Park. I can’t say why exactly, but I had a particular desire to photograph a mourning dove flying to camera.
“I had a particular desire for the hawk to fly right at me from its perch across the pond. Crazily, it wound up doing so.” he recalls. “It could have gone anywhere! But I decided to not lift my camera to my eye. Instead, I experienced this magnificent creature flying toward my head and then going directly over my right shoulder and through a hole in the flora behind. It was thrilling. The sight, sound and feeling of that hawk flying right past my ear is irreplaceable.
