    Eastern Meadowlark

    I thought it’d be fitting to burn a meadowlark on this old cedar fence post. I wonder how many of the birds perched on this very post over the decades.

    Potential ivory-billed woodpecker footage

    I believe this clip contains the footage mentioned above. Jump to 3:32 if you want to skip the introductory narrative. Thoughts? Edit: this isn’t the footage mentioned above

    Potential ivory-billed woodpecker footage

    I’m not telling you anything, I posted because it’s bird related and this is a bird forum. As I said above, I’m not holding my breath either…

    Potential ivory-billed woodpecker footage

    I hate to beat a dead horse but has anyone else seen this submission from bobby harrison regarding an almost 10 second clip on a flying IBWO on Oct 17, 2020? Not holding my breath, but always hopeful...

    Older Zeiss 8x30B monocular - opinions wanted

    Hi, I’ve found an old 8x30B monocular for sale that looks to be in good shape. Since it’s not local Incant try it out, so I’m wondering if anyone here has used it and has any thoughts, opinions and/or insight they would be willing to share. Thanks for any help you can give. Here are some pics...

    Manfrotto quick release with balance rail

    Hi, Is there an adapter so that I can put a balance rail or an arca Swiss style clamp on my Manfrotto 700rc head? When I’m digiscoping, the camera throws the balance of a touch and i want to be able to slide the scope forward a touch. Thanks.

    Kowa 664 and Olympus TG-4 combo

    Does anyone use a Kowa 66mm scope and an Olympus TG* combination? What adapter do you use? What eyepiece works best? Do you have any examples of what this combo can do? Thanks! Russ

    Kowa vs Kowa - help please.

    I couldn't really tell the difference between the kowa, swarovski and nikon scopes when I tried them, I thought the ziess definitely had a yellow tint. If I were you I'd try to find a nikon 82ed, it is the best scope for the money in my opinion... I would have bought it but I got a good deal on...

    Tattoo design

    Thanks for the comments! After looking at a few harpy shots I have to agree that it needs a bit of attention on the beak, and the "eyebrow" also needs to be more subtle. Thanks for the input, I'll post the finished tattoo when it's done. Cheers, Russ

    Tattoo design

    Thanks guys. Ed, to be honest I have never seen a harpy or Philippine eagle so I only had photos from the net to go by, however I think I have it pretty close. The massive beak of the Philippine eagle makes most others look pretty refined in comparison. It should also be noted that when the...

    Most dangerous animals encountered whilst birding

    I agree. I will also add that after 15 years of researching venomous snakes I have not once felt threatened or in any danger. Their ill-deserved reputation would be laughable if it weren't so tradgic... My most dangerous encounter... probably wasp nests.
