Some further progress catching tree swallows with the new camera. Still need to slow myself down… to catch these fast birds. Patience and some tweaks of settings should get me there.
It really was colorful like this. I selected “Daylight” for white balance, but otherwise left it alone.
The little bit of yellow at the top of the beak, so good
That is a show stopping picture! Wow! Just gorgeous.
Scaulps showing off why they are sometimes called blue bills
Gull is very excited about the carp it found.
Shoveler
Long Tail
Merlin says blue winged teal (shadowy one’s bird of the day, so we both got ours!)
wood duck
What a great collection!
great light, and all the birds, plus the deer. we felt really lucky
Mostly common birds today (but in good light and high detail)
Seems to me this is a Greater yellowlegs, even if Merlin is arguing with me and won’t give me credit. (It claims solitary sandpiper, but those have gray legs…)
Evening at the in-laws.
Snapped some photos of a young bald eagle but nothing good. But there should be more opportunities this weekend!
What’s the fluffy one?
Snowy egret - just did that little ruffle move briefly and then went back to normal!
I don’t even know where to start. How about “not birds of prey”?
Other birds at the rookery in Ocean City.
Fabulous series of posts.
