    Difficulties in Bird Photography

    The perfect shot involves a lot of waiting. I love the markings on wigeons(insert your species here). I've shot them in perfect light to show the bird. What I may want is to show duck and drake together in one shot on the water. be sure that some idiot Mallard will swim between them at the wrong...

    Wader ID please

    A headache for me too I found a trio in Cape May NJ two weeks go . My wife IDed them from the camera back. Ruddy tunstomes in winter or transistion plumage. The orange legs gave it away. Sam

    I can't believe he ate the whole thing....

    The real prizes for bird and photorapher. Find a waterbird that looks like it's stalking. Then stand and wait quietly to see if it will strike and score. Some of the finest moments in the hobby. Great work to all the patient photographers. Sam

    Hello From New Orleans LA

    Hi Jeff hope your area is getting back to normal. We NE Ohio birders hosted a New Orleans refugee this past Fall who wanted to do some birding. She had lost all her gear in the storm. A real delight to have Wendy with us as we worked along the Lake Erie shore in October and November. Sam

    Extinct or Extant - you decide....

    The whooping crane was declares extinct in 1945. It lives. I can;t say I've tickedi t but it flies between Wisconsin and Florida. They said the passenger pigeon flocks could create clouds to block the sun in the late19th century. That would be 100s of thousands of bodies. I'm not buying...

    Give 5 examples of birding gone bad.

    The local warden Tim decided to open the off limits zone of his patch two years ago on a Saturday in April to the photo enthusiasts. My bud, weather and my wife bit on the offer to hike unmolested on the other sise of the marsh. We forgot about the heavy rains the weeks before. It started out OK...

    Woodpeckers drumming is it vocal?

    i'm amazed at the love some of them have for metal objects. Medium sized woodies here like the redbelly and flicker will pound on gutters and chimney flashings. The stacatto of the rapping on an aluminum gutter can set my nerves on edge. I suppose gutters are a good catch basin for bugs and that...
