    Wow, great shots! Pretty nice fishing on the Heron's part too, good job by both of you.

    Bird ID needed

    First I've noticed this guy, we'll see how often he comes around. My doves were regulars but I haven't seen any in the last few days. Then again, they seem to wander off, especially if I miss filling the feeder for a few days, and then they come back randomly. I recall being all worried about...

    I haven't heard him coo yet, but he was back this morning, standing on top of the feeder again today, apparently he's staking a claim for his turf. :)

    Bird ID needed

    Thanks! So he's not a super rare bird that will bring birders flocking to my yard, LOL. I was guessing he was a pigeon, but they're not common in my yard. I do have a lot of the Ring Neck Doves that frequent the yard as well. They were a rarity when they first appeared a few years back, but...

    What kind of bird is this? Some variation of a pigeon?

    Wildlife Photographer of the Year winner disqualified for using stuffed animal

    So he stole a stuffed animal and used it in his photo? Wow... I can't believe the guy was brave/stupid enough to do that! I have to admit I've laughed a bit as well, though I'm sure the contest organizers aren't laughing. BTW, anyone know where to buy a fake eagle? (Asking for a friend.)

    Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge 4-20-2018

    "six subspecies of Canada geese" Wow, and here I thought they were all simply Canada Geese. I wonder what sub-species "mine" are? (Hey, I feed them, so they're mine, right?)

    Travel Back in Time with This Incredibly Crisp Footage of Life in New York City in 1911

    Some of those are very cool. I also like when they slow them down to avoid the catoonish look of playing them at high speed. They were filmed slower, I don't recall the exact frame rate, but they look silly when played back at 60 frames per second. Slowing them down to close to the original...

    I’ve got about 4 geese who are regulars along with about 1/2 dozen ducks. I enjoy having them around but also in moderation. So I bought a plastic 2 bowl dog dish for large dogs. I put cracked corn in one side and water in the other. They love it! Also, since it’s small, they get defensive of...

    Or is it a Goose / Orca hybrid? "Feather" hangs out in my backyard with a few of my pals, and enjoy the lovely ambiance, nice green lawn, shade trees, water at just the right height in the bird bath, and, best of all, a cracked corn buffet dish. This feather's been out of place for over a week...

    Backyard bunny

    Between the crappy weather and the work of getting the forum moved, I've basically not been shooting this last two months. Finally took a photo yesterday, not exactly Nat Geo quality, but at least I picked up the camera.

    Ooh, egrets, nice! Hope you find a way to get some more shots of those guys.

    Birds of the Missouri River Valley

    Cormorants are tricky since they’re so black. They and bald eagles are both best shot when there’s a light haze. Full sun makes shadows too harsh and blows out the white feathers on an eagles head. Too much cloud cover and everything is flat. But if you can get that “Goldilocks Light” things...

    How to Capture Amazing Images of Birds by Shooting from a Hidden Photo Blind (VIDEO)

    We have a lot of bird shooters here. Do any of you use a blind on a regular basis? I never have, aside from the various public blinds at Nisqually NWR and at Ridgefield. I've had a bit of luck at both, but it's not something I do often.

    Edmonds Eagles 2017-2018

    I've learned to love the young baldies. The mottled feathers and patterns makes them interesting. When I first started, I'd often pass them up in favor of mature adults. Now I've got so many bald eagle photos they all start to look the same. At least with the younger ones you have different...

    Birds of the Missouri River Valley

    Bill, "sharpness" has no effect on a raw file. Sharpness is a post processing, even in camera. The camera bakes it into the jpg, or in the case of raw files, the jpg preview. But the raw file itself has nothing done to it. No sharpening, not white balance, etc. It's truly "raw". This is why you...

    You fooled me! I though this was a steam locomotive.

    Birds of the Missouri River Valley

    There could be several reasons it look (just a touch) soft. The focus could indeed be slightly off, maybe on the sticks behind the heron? Could be a tiny bit of motion blur, or it could ISO as Bill suspects. Can you upload a 100% crop of the head? Crop out like a 1600 x 1200 section and upload...

    About that "Pacific Northwest" bit...

    I quietly snuck the birds one in during the upgrade. We don’t sort by geographic region except for the shooting location discussions. Nobody seems to know about that area, or if they not sure what it is. I hope to work on that. The idea is to post info on good shooting locations as a reference...
