    Breakfast - Rat on a Limb

    This Red-shouldered hawk was being mobbed by crows just across the street from my house, when I first saw it. I grabbed my camera and started trying to get some pictures of it. I started at about 40 yards and slowly moved up toward it. I was able to move completely around the tree taking...

    New Sigma 150/600 contemporary

    Looks good Roy. Good to see you post again. I just bought one of these and am working on micro adjusting it. I read a review of this lens before I bought it and the guy said you need a lot of patience. How true and he should have added, a whole lot of free time. By the way, did you micro...

    I Got My Eye On You

    This was taken across the street from my house. I had been to my favorite lake and had chased birds all over the place and came home, got out my car to pick up the paper and here was this guy across the street. The crows were giving him a hard time, hurling curses at him and questioning his...

    Third Act of The ritual

    This is the female. You can tell she is serious about this busness and wants to move on with it. As you can see, she has gone into the mud at the bottom of the lake for her material. She does not appear to be too concerned about her appearance either.

    Submarine!!!

    In case you haven't figured out what this is, well, it is Common Merganser fishing. This one was swimming in a straight line, very fast, with it's head almost under water. Strange to watch it do it's thing.

    We have had hundreds of American Robins in our yard for the last three days. The water in my two bird baths is apparently the only water around. I have stayed busy keeping them filled.
