RE: Daily Bird Photos - No. 3 ~ A Trip To The Bird Sanctuary ~
What a terrific day this must have been. Pictures are excellent Keith!
And knowing what species is amazing. The area certainly attracts a lot of variety.
Thanks so much! I had to look about half of these up... there are so many birds there. I didn't see any swans or bald eagles and I waited and waited for a heron to catch a fish, but no luck. I have photos from previous visits though.
Takes as much patience as if you were fishing yourself. Very peaceful though. I don't suppose it was a boring wait.
Good job with the identification....
No, it's lots of fun but the camera & big lens get heavy. I don't use a tripod because I want to be ready for birds in flight and I need to be able to aim anywhere, so these outings don't last much beyond an hour... time enough to take lots of shots!
We hang out around the lake quite a bit simply because we see a lot of nature without having to go too far.
We decided last night we will start hanging out at the river....maybe see differnt varities of nature....never know.
I need a better camera!
There is no doubt that your equipment plays a big role in bird photography. Normally I'd like to say that it's all about the photographer, not the gear, but for birds having a decent long lens really helps. Enjoy your river walks!
