 White-fronted bee eater, Merops bullockoides. by Sneeze Party, on Flickr This is the best bird photo that I have ever produced. He was getting grubs and throwing them up in the air for himself to catch. This is at the San Diego Zoo.

Hauling in the biggest catch I've seen so far "I should have used a condom"  Taking a well-deserved drink  I went earlier than normal one morning, and maybe overdid it. ISO 51200, presented sans denoise  Spread eagle  Baby also held their own against osprey attacks

Whoa, you all are posting really great stuff! I went to a birding spot last weekend and saw far more lizards than birds. Is lizarding a thing?

Raikyn posted:Couple from NZ Killer moment! Also I looked at your Flickr, and  at the mechanical birds inclusion.jarlywarly posted:Great stuff, nice work I need to take a trip to Scotland to see eagles again. Thank you. I'm blessed by this nest being right there in a suburb park a 10 minute drive from home, across a picnic area and perfectly lit by the AM sun. And the eagles preferring to face and take off towards us most of the time. Around fledging time, I spent an overboard amount of time there, almost fancying myself as being in one of those "live with the animals in nature" situations... but with the ability to order Grubhub and pee in a bathroom with soap. Now I'm kinda burned out on that, and work has been taking some more of my mornings again. Maybe next year again, with a better lens? Or this winter, at a few sites that the other regulars at the park gave me some tips on... Anyway, how bout some video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QrgwPALhts And, to get the thread a little more alive again, I'll join VelociBacon's idea to expand a bit into "animals that fly"...

On Saturday I saw a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird in my buddy's backyard and on Monday people were photographing some of them in a nearby park that I like to go to. Went there yesterday afternoon, couldn't find any, but did find 3 Great Horned Owls (was only able to photograph 2) Great Horned Owl by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Great Horned Owl by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Great Horned Owl by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Great Horned Owl by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Great Horned Owl by Tyler Huestis, on Flickr Great Horned Owl by Tyler Huestis, on FlickrThe Blue Jay in the background chased the two out of the woods through a path clearing I was in and they flew by me within like 15 feet which was loving incredible

Not a sick predator bird or nothing - but here's a cool heron with a twisted neck that makes it look like it's wearing a neat scarf  I mostly shoot with my Tamrom 150-600mm but with the Aperature as big as it can get (although above was f 9.5)... Should I join the f8 crew I've read about here with a d5600 sensor?? Slotducks fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Aug 10, 2021 |

Slotducks posted:Not a sick predator bird or nothing - but here's a cool heron with a twisted neck that makes it look like it's wearing a neat scarf Yeah we all would rather shoot that lens wide open but it's not good enough, you have to stop it down to f/8 to get it sort-of sharp. It doesn't matter too much what your sensor is because this is all happening in front of it.

I'll go shoot some birds probably this weekend and maybe it'll turn out even better!

Slotducks posted:Oh man - that's good insight. Thank you! Where you might get bit a little is that you'll have to bump your ISO in the camera in order to still get fast enough shutter speeds for birds (with the lens now stopped down to f/8). This is definitely a place where the quality of the sensor in the camera is going to make a big difference. I tend to shoot around ISO 600-800 to allow me a 1/1000 shutter speed at f/8. If you're shooting something like a heron standing there you can probably bring your iso and shutter speeds down a bit.

 got this one featured on a big bird photo ig account this week and glad to see that people are liking it  I just started taking bird photos this year and it has definitely been fun to learn about nature and photography at the same time. Thinking about getting a sony 200-600mm next year and spending even more time in the woods.

Those raptors are rad! I keep trying to get good photos of Osprey fishing at my local birding spot. No luck yesterday, but the sunflowers are blooming, and I spent most of focusing on that.

KITE BATTLE! A juvenile kite grappled with an adult on my regular walking trail. I've seen them battle before, but this time they got close enough to get decent pictures.     The victor says: You want some too?
