Bird Thread

I forgot i had this one. Its an Ibis. Not afraid of me at all. I took this one with the 100-300 on landscape setting at ISO of 200 on tripod.

Cool ospreys BE!!! I'd be afraid they would swoop down and grab me...lol! Here's another pic... a lil duckling

Tamron 75-300mmLD @ f/11, 1/250s, ISO200, 300mm

See I knew we needed a bird thread...

Thanks to all so far...great shots! Keep them comming.

Bald Eagle. Where is the Chick?

The Chick is experiencing technical difficulties at the moment. Her computer is acting up, should be fixed very soon. She just today took my 100-300 and started using it on her camera :( oh well, That means i have to buy me a new Telephoto. :D

In the meantime, here's an Ospreys chick. :rolleyes:

My condolences, and congratualtions. ;)

I took this at the park. I was lucky to catch the bird in mid-shake.

These birds were shot at MONTERRAY, CALIFORNIA.

It looks like Geoff has already set up a bird thread. Sorry, I looked but didn't see it. I'm not sure how we combine the two, but maybe we can get Jeff to do that, and then sticky it as well.

Jeff...

Seems a little out of focus, or very highly cropped. A good capture none the less.

Which lens were you using?

George
It is very highly cropped (you don't want to see my washing hanging on the rest of the washing line do you)

It was the 18-70mm kit lens I'd just finished unpacking the camera and lens when this little fella turn up to see what was going on.

This is a blackbird who been a visitor to our garden for the last 4-5 years
