tikey,
Welcome to Birdforum. And yes, you'll find plenty of talk here. I've been a member for less than a year but have already learned quite a lot here. And the common birds that you know at home will be quite exotic to some of our other members around the world, so don't be shy in telling us about your bird sightings!

KC, I GOT MY SIMPLICITY HOOKUP TODAY. I GOT IT TOO LATE TO TRY OUT MUCH. AUDUBON DOING BIRD WALK SAT AT BEAR ISLAND ON S SIDE OF CHAS. I MIGHT TRY OUT THERE. WISH ME LUCK.KCFoggin said:Hi Mike and I'm glad you made it here okay. It's good to see you. You just posted a shot of one of my favorite birds.
I KNOW. IVE ALREADY SET UP. THE LITTLE ALLEN WRENCH SCREW THAT ATTACHES SCOPE WAS TOO SHORT FOR MY SCOPE SO I Had TO GO TO HARDWARE STORE AND GET ONE 1/4" LONGER. I HAD A HECK OF A TIME ADJUSTING THE LITTLE NUT ON THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE CAMERA. ITS NOT A QUICK PROCESS TO GET CAM ON OR TAKE OFF. ANY TIPS? oKCFoggin said:Just take your time in getting it set up and you might want to try and line it up with your camera and scope before the weekend. Please don't wait til the day of the bird walk. Even if you have to play hooky tomorrow

Tikey,
Nice photo. And no, we don't have many of your Carolina Wrens in Mexico. They are in the NE part of the country just below Texas. Then we actually have a local endemic here in the Yucatan called a White-browed Wren which is a subspecies of the Carolina. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm looking!
Thanks,

TOMORROW THE SAME. I AM GOING BIRDING/DIGISCOPING AT A PRESERVE CALLED BEAR ISLAND NEAR CHARLESTON. SUPPOSED T0 BE TUNDRA SWANS, EGRETS, GOLDEN EAGLE. WE'LL SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT.headington7 said:
STUPID ME. I TOLD YOU I NEEDED TO LOOK AT YOUR SETUP. WE SAW LOTS OF BIRDS TODAY. SAW SOME AWESOME THINGS LIKE 2 BARN OWL CHICKS IN A NEST UNDER BRIDGE (MAY NEVER SEE THAT AGAIN IN LIFETIME). KILLDEER NEST W/EGGS. WE HAD BIG BIRDING GROUP 20+ AND MOST PICS WOULD HAVE BEEN AT GREAT DISTANCE. WINDS WERE VERY HIGH ON OPEN EXPANSE.I TOOK PIC OF BALD EAGLES IN NEST AND BALD EAGLE. PIC WAS 3-400 YDS AWAY. DIDNT TURN OUT WELL. I TOOK SOME PICS. MOST NOT GOOD. I DID GET ONE GOOD PIC OF KILLDEER. I MAY POST ON AVIARY. BEAR ISLAND MAGNIFICENT THO.KCFoggin said:

LOL Mike. Okay, first off you just have to quit what we call shouting (using all caps) but it definitely makes your point here. :h?:tikey1949 said:
Do you have another camera that you can take a pic of your digiscoping setup with and email it to me. I seriously doubt it is the actual setup but more so the settings you are using if you are not happy with the shot. Are you staying in the macro zone as I suggested? Tell me what settings you were using and yes the gale winds were a bit rough here today too. Very, very thankful I had my very, very heavy swaro tripod.
