Most Saturday mornings around sunrise I head out to Lake Redman in York, Pa., with camera in hand. During this time I run into many fishermen who are out early as well.
But during my time along the water I’ve noticed that birds catch more fish than fishermen. So, I compiled a list of my top-five list of Pennsylvania birds that catch fish regularly and with great success.

The great egret population has largely recovered in the U.S., with the big birds becoming somewhat common in the South. But in Pennsylvania, the stately white fish-eater is listed as “state endangered,” with breeding populations in just two small, isolated areas.
According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, one is on Wade Island in the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County, and the other is tiny Kiwanis Lake in downtown York.

On Feb. 17 the Lancaster Science Factory in Pennsylvania hosted a program by the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Association, located in Berks and Schuylkill counties. This event brought hundreds of kids into the factory, and one old man with his camera.
Yeah, that’s right – that old man was this writer! Being a bird of prey fan and photographer, I had heard of Hawk Mountain, but never had a chance to take a trip there.
So, I know you’re asking yourself, why is wildlife photography being featured in a publication targeted at hunters? Well, the answer is quite simple. You can’t hunt most of the year, and you can get out and take photos of animals during the off-season.
There are many similarities between hunting for game and taking photos of animals, right down to the tools. Even the terminology is similar, with the word “shoot.”

I have a friend and fellow photographer who posts incredible pictures of what I consider “exotic birds” on social media. A master photographer, he lives in Tampa Bay, Florida, and I can’t begin to tell you how envious I am of him due to the wide range of birds at his fingertips.
While I am capturing photos of blue jays, cardinals and robins in my backyard, my friend is posting pictures of flamingos, spoonbills and swallow-tail kites. It didn’t seem like a fair comparison, or so I thought.
