    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.

    bird tattoos, let's see em!

    Since the last tattoo thread is no longer active and I'm unable to respond to it I think it's time for a new one. Here's my IBWO tattoo, self administered. The chinese means "ghost", obviously a reference to the birds unknown status. Let's see yours! R~

    Some bird sketches with pencil

    Here is a pair of eastern screech owls I drew up a couple of months ago with coloured pencil. I always wanted to get a photograph of both colour phases in one frame and could never manage to pull it off so I drew them instead ;) Cheers! Russ

    Tripod recommendations

    I have a kowa 664 (straight) scope. I want a tripod that doesn't need to have the center column extended that much or at all. I would prefer carbon fiber. I am just under 6 feet tall. Can anyone recommend anything? Any help would be great. Russ
