    A bee eater and a plover at the San Diego Zoo

    I've had these pics for a while but don't know what they are. http://www.pbase.com/shonn/image/117427042 http://www.pbase.com/shonn/image/117427142

    What are the criteria for determining a subspecies?

    Just curious what it takes to constitute a subspecies. Some species have some differences regionally but are not considered subspecies. Herring Gulls in North America are an example I can think of. There are differences in wing tip patters and often in size between eastern and western NA...

    Chickadees/Tits

    Just looking for a good discussion where I can learn something. Basically, I'm interested in the relationships between them. Four Species; Willow Tit, Black-Capped Chickadee, Marsh Tit and Carolina Chickadee are so similar in appearance that they often cannot safely be distinguished by...

    Birders in Seattle Wa.

    I will be heading there in about a month. What aree some good birding spots and what can I expect to see? I hear Bald Eagles are fairly common there and I've never seen one so I'm looking forward to that. How about Gray Jays? Also believe or not, I'm looking forward to seeing Black-Capped...

    Beware: stolen Nikon equipment serial numbers (UK)

    “Tens of thousands of pounds worth of top-of-the-range Nikon cameras have been stolen from a UK camera dealer” (source).

    I wonder how true this is...

    Interesting scaup like thing

    I found this while browsing a pbase gallery. It looks like a hybrid but not the Ring-Necked Duck scaups I've seen. I was thinking perhaps Tufted Duck x scaup? joern weigh in here as you're better than me at waterfowl hybrids. Look how dark it's back is and what about that white around the bill...

    D90 or Capture NX issue?

    In Capture NX, when I try to open an NEF file, I get an error message saying that the file cannot be loaded. What did I overlook or screw up on?

    Black silicon CMOS sensors?

    http://www.tomshardware.com/news/black-silicon-photography,6485.html 100 times more sensitive to light than current sensors. Most of you may not care but for those who do, imagine the ISO performance! You'd be able to shoot at F8 on a cloudy day under trees!

    Wrightwood, California

    Ok, I don't get to travel the world like many others but I did enjoy this trip a little over a week ago. After doing a grueling 10 hour long photoshoot with a friend of mine, we decided to head up to the mountains, to Wrightwood which is in the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains. I woke up that...

    As a bird photographer, I'm glad I picked Nikon

    http://www.dpnotes.com/canon-50d-vs-nikon-d300-compared/ To be fair, perhaps she hasn't mastered the Canon system. Many members here on BF have capture great flight shots with their Canons as we've all seen. Perhaps one might think it's better to not have to work harder at it?

    What am I doing wrong?

    When I shoot with my prime, I can usually get the settings right so I get a good exposure. However, when I shoot with my 70-200 2.8 VR, I always get blown highlights. I have screwed with settings all over but this lens does not like bright areas it seems. I use this lens for both people and...

    Swans

    What's the deal with them? Has anyone heard or seen anything about Tundra Swans? Has any one (like the AOU or BOU) split them? Or has any work reinforced the lumping of them? Sorry my questions were so curt, I have to leave for work now.

    Genus Leucophaeus

    With the recent change in gull taxonomy, I remained puzzled. The Heermann's Gull is said to be closely related to the Grey Gull and even the Laughing Gull. However, when the genus Leucophaeus was created, Heermann's was not placed in that genus. I've seen the stuff put out about the gulls being...
