    To Kill a Grackle

    Am I guilty of necroposting? Perhaps. But, did this thread catch my attention? It caught my attention ALL THE WAY from Google when I Google'd "Killing Grackles". It was the first thread that came up. Hooray BF.net! The OP is so far off base that I felt it needed addressing, and since the Sr...

    The Struggle

    Two California Gulls fight over the carcass of a dead Elephant Seal along the Central Coast of California. The spot seen between them is a spot of blood from the piece of meat that was lost in the tussle.

    Thanks, Robin. I get this part. But WHY is my question. Again, I am not attempting to sound obtuse, and I am asking out of genuine curiosity.

    Photos of Nesting Birds

    Hello all, Quite the newbie here, so excuse me if the tone is a bit off in the question, or if it's a redundant question. I attempted to search for a thread on this to no avail. I'm wondering why posting photos of nesting birds is a faux pas. I've got some great shots (IMHO) of nesting birds...

    Bird of War

    This Eurasian Collared Dove was shot in Tal Afar, Iraq nesting in the barbed wire fencing surrounding our small compound. The symbolism of the Symbol of Peace being surrounded with barbed wire in a war zone was too much to pass on. http://www.flickr.com/photos/boryanphotography/

    exploring the Robin

    You've got some room to play with the ISO. More light is always better than low to no light. You could go to 320, at the risk of a little bit of noise, but it will definitely sharpen up the image. Cranking the ISO will allow you to increase your shutter speed. You'll need to play with the ISO to...
