Nature More of the same...

More of the same... · 03:10 PM

I went to the park to get a few Grey Jay shots and hoping for something new and different. No such luck, same old same old...

There were a few other photographers ,

A great series of very detailed shots.

Ho Hum. Yada yada yada. Booooooring. NOT!

I wonder what the fellow center-right is hoping to do with that flash gun on a bright, sunny day, with that huge-mongous lens?

What you mean super sharp images of birds on branches with the odd squirrel thrown in for good measure.

I heard rumours of a Grey Owl, Crossbills, a Fox, now those were exciting.

These guys were discovering they all went to the same high school and having a male bonding moment, I didn't want to tell them they looked kind of idiotic, it would have ruined the moment.

Ya, Kerrowdown, you know us Scots want something more from life. ( I used to have a Scottish grandmother, so I get to be Scottish every fourth day, with sometimes an extra day on leap year.))

German, English, African American, Native American, with some French and Irish thrown in, I'm a melting pot man.

Is that Jay eating cheese? Sunday brunch? Really nice shots - so crisp!

**patrick9** · 03-02-2014, 07:43 PM

As usual a very fine set of critter portraits. The one in #2 seems to be a bit embarrassed, or posing I am not sure which, but I like it the best .

Very nice fine detail sharp images anything but boring.

She is actually the shy one of this couple, the male came down and took food from my hand, she stayed up there and just looked. I put her food on a post nearby where she could land a 20 feet away from me.

Thanks, I feel like I've been shooting images of the same 6 birds for months now. I'm glad it's not boring for others, but I'm ready for the spring migration to come through.
