What gorgeous pictures..........

thank you

I haven't been out and about much to see the wildlife, and my camera doesn't have a telephoto lens...but spring is coming, and I'm feeling the draw. I know the eagles are congregating at Eagle Creek back home like they do every year at this time....i saw pictures in the tribal paper, and it made me a little homesick.

ou can get a fairly god digital camera with zoom lens. i have a sony cybershot 12.1 megapixel. i love the thing.

 

[koshergrl]

Yes, one can...if one has money to buy it, lol.

I currently don't. I have my little digital which is a nice little camera, but sadly inadequate for birding.

i hear you. most of the other shots i posted were done without a zoom. put a feeder outside your window and let the birds come to you.

(Except Spoonman's eagle would be something to see if he did videos...)

A lot of blue ribbons hang by photos taken by amateurs with one of those at state fairs... Just sayin'.

i used to have a few places i would send my photos to. lots of them have been used in calendars, marketing brochres and stuff. now there are sites on line where you can post photos and if someone wants to use them you get paid for them. i haven't hooked up with any of them yet, but i should. one of these days i;ll get around to it.

That's rather nice, Spoonman. That's one I never heard, and I liked John Denver, too.

I don't know if a dragonfly qualifies as a 'wildside pecker' but this was just too pretty not to post:

how about this guy? i thought it was dead and went to get a box to put it in. when i got back it had flown away. i think the wind must have just blown it out of the eves of the shed

Too cool! It's catching a breath, then.



I admit to thinking this was a thread of a different variety.

LOL. I think Becki was really creative with her title for this thread. Has no doubt generated a lot of looks it otherwise wouldn't have gotten.

Wow, that must've been some kind of windstorm! Thanks for sharing the story that it found its way back to the air.
