Hi Buggy,

 

Welcome to the Forum, it’s a fun place to hang out with lots of friendly people.

 

I'm glad you like the photos, here's a closer look at the osprey. It’s a beautiful bird and I'm very much looking forward to taking its picture again.

 

This one's for you...

Graham

Thanks Leaky,

 

It's the operator, not the camera...lol.. just kidding, I love my camera!!!!!

 

I just got one shot at this little hummingbird in my backyard before it zoomed away. I'll get more...

I'm trying to find out what kind of duck the ones below are?

 

 

I kind of like this mallard shot.

Superb Images, I dont think I have ever seen a brilliant White Herron.

Thanks verminous_titan, thanks a lot! I really can't decide if I like the photo below or not, a heron up in a tree. I like the colors but the branches are distracting, but there's something about it I kind of like, even though most of the bird is not visible.

I think the branches add a touch of mystery and give the shot perspective. Sometimes less is more.

Graham, I have to admit defeat on your duck question - checked my field guides and did some searches and found nothing that resembles your quackers. Some kind of escaped domestic strain maybe? An Asian visitor? One of Graham's Photoshop-aided pranks? (the memory of The Great Owl Caper is still fresh LOL)

Thanks Peterjay, I've been looking as well, still nothing on those ducks.

 

I was just looking at some of the shots from last week and like the cormorant shot below.

 

I am so happy with my camera, and I'm enjoying zooming in on the pics in Photoshop and looking at the details...

Sorry for the hijack. I was skimming through the unread posts, and I saw this thread entitled Bird Pornography. Not sure why, but my curiousity got the better of me. I guess I read it completely wrong.

 

Ok, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

Great pics guys. Nice birds.

I was out picking weeds in the backyard thise morning, and a hummingbird kept showing up, so, I ran inside and grabbed my camera. The humming bird seems to only show up when I don't have the camera.

 

But, a pair of hawks circled around and around over my backyard, and I got a few pics. I know the larger one is a Red Tailed hawk, but the smaller one that was pestering the big one, I'm not sure what that is? Getting a shot of a mid air collision was cool. Too bad they were under a cloud when that occured.

 

 

 

 

The crash didn't seem to botther the big bird much, he just soard higher and higher, without flapping its wings, and the little one did a lot of flapping trying to keep up.
