First lesson clean up your GARBAGE

Yep sad out here we have the 407 and the 401 widening If you want to see some eye opening stats watch Songbird SOS http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/songbirdsos

I like when they run away Or I have the 243 with me

Thanks Joey its easy when you turn and he's there about 20' from ya little tough on the nerves wondering how many more are around you

This one I have to try sound sooooooooooo good

Thanks still not sure how Turtles survive eggs eaten by skunks coons and coyotes young ones by gull crows ravens herons etc

And try them out like anything else some will fit you right others not so good

Ran into this guy this morning he was only about 20'from me this is what he was eating fresh Snapping Turtle Eggs he dug up atleast 2 nests that I found

Nice shot in the right light you can see the red eye

Thanks

Heres one from last fall usually see between 5 on a bad day to 100 on a good day

Nice shot

This one is close to what I'm looking for but the head angle just isn't right

Nice I haven't seen too many around yet my spot is usually better when they start migrating back south

Very nice

I think he ate too many of them chartreuse worms

Cool Keep at it Hint's Sun at your back Early morning late afternoon (golden hour they call it) leaves less shadows and highlights blown find a spot that their coming across you High shutter speed I usually start with 1/1000 and go up most are at 1/1600 to 1/2000 Shoot in shutter speed priority to start(not sure what camera you have ) Have fun I enjoy every minute out with my camera and just for comparison heres one of my first BIF 3 years ago

I was a regular there when my parent's lived in Kearney.Bob didn't even mind if you brought a beer to wash down the Banger He will be missed by lots Rip Bob

After working with it some more here is the final edit

First one i saw was the hiding one mom was apita young one on the tree eluded me till it moved still haven't seen dad

Thought it was a little late for young ones All three in a tree have fun finding them MOM Bump on a log Then it moved The other hiding

One of my favorite birds nice job I can never seem to get them there here for a week then gone
