I don't post a ton here because I haven't been out to birds in a while but here's a medium format duck shot with a 150/2.8 lens on portra 400 with a pentax 67. Ducks by Trevor Zuliani, on Flickr

I'm trying to do more morning/evening shooting. Unfortunately I didn't check the tide yesterday– it was about a mile out, and so were the birds. This was about the only moderately interesting bird shot I got. Meeker Slough peep flights-2057 on Flickr

Time for another big post, was a nice sunny day (despite being -20) so I went out birding Went to the park to look for Grosbeaks, not too many out, and no males  Pine Grosbeak by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Pine Grosbeak by Tyler Huestis, on FlickrOn the way out of the park I came across a flock of Waxwings  Bohemian Waxwing by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Bohemian Waxwing by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Bohemian Waxwing by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Bohemian Waxwing by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Bohemian Waxwing by Tyler Huestis, on FlickrWent to the terminal, no action when I arrived, the guys there said the rough-legged hawk had made a couple low passes then went north, so I went around to the back side to see if was on any one the poles. It wasn't, but the bald eagle was  Bald Eagle by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Bald Eagle by Tyler Huestis, on FlickrWhen I got back, a provincial biologist had arrived with a Peregrine, it had a dislocated shoulder when it was young, so it doesn't hunt, just used to teach the local school kids  Peregrine Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Peregrine Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Peregrine Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on FlickrShortly thereafter, a new Prairie Falcon showed up, it came in so low I thought it was the Roughie at first. This one is a juvenile with a really erratic hunting style, really unlike the other Prairies I've seen hunt here over the past couple years. It was hunting really close to the building and would be going through all the metal structures making tracking a real pain in the rear end. On several occasions it would kinda bounce off the brick and launch itself downward. It didn't pause very long between hunting attempts, maybe 5 min rest at most, and on it's fourth attempt it caught a pigeon  Prairie Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Prairie Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Prairie Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Prairie Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Prairie Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Prairie Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Prairie Falcon by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr2 min or so later, the eagle came off it's pole and made a couple lazy passes  Bald Eagle by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr

I have been having some great success finding and shooting owls recently   Nice series, but this one in particular really stands out to me. Beautiful. Love this, that's a great pose and it's well captured. neckbeard posted:Time for another big post, was a nice sunny day (despite being -20) so I went out birding I really like this shot -- was this shot through a window?

Thanks! No, I think it must have been a sunny branch in the foreground (although I didn't notice it at the time). It was fun watching this guy tending to his sap lines at fairly close range, but he mostly stayed in the shadows or behind big tangles of branches. Yellow-bellied is vagrant here so my first goal was just to get ID photos.

They were walking around like they owned the goddamned place, that's for sure. I'm a yankee from the frozen north, so seeing these guys strut around was really cool and novel.

I saw someone try to hand feed one at Reifel bird sanctuary near Vancouver. At first glance you might not sure who was dumber, the bird or the person. But when this monster bird jabbed its 8" long dagger beak into the person's hand, the answer was pretty clear.

But when this monster bird jabbed its 8" long dagger beak into the person's hand, the answer was pretty clear. My closest encounter with Sandhills was at Reifel, so I 100% believe this story. Pretty unnerving to have birds that tall walk right past you on a nature trail. e: I agree with Kenshin re: picking an owl photo. I'd put the first one as a close second. They are all beyond great but I think the first two check more boxes for me. BetterLekNextTime fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Feb 12, 2018 |

Am I really the rear end in a top hat who has to post after an Internet Junky dump, gently caress. Went to a new place today - not a lot of birds but they were pretty close so that's cool. Not sure what the black bird is (a blackbird?). Just trying some photo compositing.

VelociBacon posted:Am I really the rear end in a top hat who has to post after an Internet Junky dump, gently caress. I like the composite idea. Given that the birds are overlapping a bit did you cut/paste them manually or is there some software that is capable of overlapping them like this? Also, cool tri-coloured blackbird. That's a new one for me.

I think that's a red-winged blackbird. Tri-colored has red and white epaulets. e: Internet Junky, the 1st, 2nd, and either 3rd or 4th make such a great series- I wonder if you can offer those 3 as a package. BetterLekNextTime fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Feb 13, 2018 |
