Drove around today, and seemingly all the Osprey took the same bus to get here. Every nest I checked on Monday that was empty is now occupied. It is finally spring in Maine!

A Coot.

./showthread.php?p=193​64032&i=i93884870
forum: Birds

Very nice, sharp, colorful coot shot, fotoi! I have a question for you, and anyone else who can chime in. In looking at your coot shot, the body appears a bit longer than it naturally should. I encounter this problem all the time when photographing waterfowl swimming in front of me at a perfect crossing angle. I'm very frustrated by it, and have to try and correct the problem in Photoshop. Teal for example, have fairly short compact bodies, but in all my swimming shots of them crossing in front of me, their bodies look disproportionally long. I hope someone can enlighten me as to what's going on.

Another terrific photo to add to your super collection of Superb Fairy Wrens, Richard! She certainly has an attractive pose in this shot.

Raven - I normally don't shoot pics of these guys, but this one was posed nicely for me and he was incredibly huge. He looked kind of like a bowling ball from a distance :D

You captured this guy nicely, Mark! I like to shoot crows and ravens because I find it a challenge to get really nice shots of these all black birds. Admittedly I end up tossing a huge majority of my shots. But if I can get close enough, I'll fire away...hoping to get some nice detail.

Very nice sharp capture, Cap'n

I really enjoy this terrific common buzzard portrait in the rain, Sid! Its quite pleasing.

Very sharp, crisp capture of this busy Yellow-crowned night heron, Bill!

many thanks Mike. the wrens do have some very characteristic poses which seem common across them all. But there's some poses that they seem to keep for special occasions and I'm not there with the camera when that happens :-P

Silvereye ~ Zosterops lateralis
beautiful small bird here that forms large flocks in winter months. They are fidgety birds and don't pose much
