Uh, this would be a blue heron... perfectly framed, flying and missing no body parts. I don't care if it's blurry Herons and Falcons always get me

Do it do it! I was in the city yesterday and on my drive home I figured to stop at the goose sanctuary which I had never been to, I am definitely going back because I was pooping my pants that I didn't have my camera. The CUTEST little owl was sitting on the "no hunting" post... he was just looking at me and all around it was awesome.

So post owls too! LOL

ENded up being a good shot anyway; just a shame about the focus to it all. Would have been SWEET if it was caught perfectly like that.

would have been SWEET if i had turned the macro focus off before i took the first shot....

damn me and my absentmindedness

Well, looking at parts it also seems as if it would have needed a slightly faster sutter speed. Regardless, it's still cool

Nice description. He's a cutie. Birds are kinda scary though. Anyways, lovely capture. Love the sense of motion and the framing of him. He rocks.

well, most birds arent all that scary...birds this size kinda are

i think its the whole idea that they could peck your eyes out while standing on even ground with you...

now that i think about that...im kinda glad he flew away....

I like the wording that goes along with this picture... and Dom's right. It's impossible to get a shot of these blasted cranes, isn't it? But you did... :sigh: Good job.

I-Am-Pi In reply to michellemoore [2005-04-18 23:10:09 +0000 UTC]

well, i had a REALLY awesome one of him standing...but after i took it, i realized i still had macro focus on...so it kinda came out like a bigfoot sighting photo...

bah

Aw... bummer... there there, you got a great one of him flying - much more impressive than just a standing fartknocker bird.

great capture. i've always startled these guys before i've been able to get pics of them. and i was never able to get a good shot of one in flight. i love the soft colors, the plain bg, and the placement of this one. great focus on the feathers in those wings as well.
