I have really enjoyed all of your bird shots. I only just got my DLSR, and my longest lens is my 55-250. I've been shooting a lot of pelicans since they are out eating just off the coast every day, and good practice. This is probably the best shot technically I've gotten of one, but I know I can do better. How do you track birds successfully? I've been watching them with both eyes open, so I can see if any of the other birds wheeling in the air are doing anything interesting, but it definitely feels hard to focus on so many things at once.

  All I've gotten recently. I'm going on a hike this weekend which will hopefully be more fruitful.

I tried to get lower down when I shot the ducks today. It's not easy since the lagoon is built with walkways that extend over the water, but the angle is definitely better.

Hello bird thread. After being dumb for too long, I'm getting back into shooting. Here's the only decent bird shot I've had in a while, a Tristam's Grackle from Israel this summer.

Also, torgeaux, I like the weeds in the shot, it makes it look like you were able to sneak up on the pelican.

 Here's a Western Scrub Jay as it was taking off. I started getting hits for this picture right after I posted it and wondered why for a half second until I remembered that I named it Bird Butt. Guess what the fine members of flickr were searching for?

Nope, one of two at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco.

Getting back into photography after a long lapse due to the pandemic. I got a new camera and lens (Fuji X-T4, Fujinon XF 70-300mm), and it's been fun to get familiar with them. This Muscovy duck was hanging out at a local park:  Muscovy duck by Elanna, on Flickr These are zoo shots, but I'm still happy with how they came out. Focus peaking is amazing.

Zoo birds, but still: Ostrich by Elanna, on Flickr We lucked out, this ostrich was eating right up next to the edge of the enclosure and popped its head up to check us out.  Rhinoceros Hornbill by Elanna, on Flickr This hornbill was very involved with taking a bath in the mister.
