Some odds and ends from this past weekend:

[Canon_Bob]

Just some random stuff from the weekend. I won't bore you with the Bald Eagles and heron Rookery stuff that I've been shooting heavily lately, but here are some of the "opportunity" shots:

Brown Pelican with reflections:





Ring-Billed Gull says: "Hey, that pelican reflection stuff is kinda cool!"


Burrowing Owl says: "What's that gull looking at?"


Piping Plover says: "Geez...you'd think none of you had ever seen a Brown Pelican before! I'm outta here!"

Wow Bob, I absolutely love the second one the Brown Pelican! The symmetry is what really does it for me.

[SARtech]

I love those! Very nice.
How do you add the comments/descriptions inbetween the photos? I'll take a guess and say that you copy and past the photo's addy from this site inbetween the comments while typing up your post?

Those pelican reflection shots are impressive.

[AgingEyes]

I have to agree with your Ring-billed Gull

[Canon_Bob]

Had to make a correction. I think the Plover is a Piping Plover....Not a Wilson's. Paul? Verification please?

[A.M.D.A.]

Very nice work, and captions too! I really like #2 for the reflections. :thumbsup:

Upload the photo first to a separate website (e.g. photobucket, imageshack, flickr, photographyreview gallery), then copy and paste the URL into [IMG][/IMG] in your post. Then optionally write text above or below.

Also, which I recently discovered, if you attach photos by uploading files to a post, place your mouse cursor on the file link and memorize the attachment ID number. Then type it into [attach][/attach] code.

See here for more info on "codes". http://forums.photographyreview.com/misc.php?do=bbcode

Thanks Alex.

That second pelican shot, heck both of them, are they entered in IWP ?

What's IWP? Sorry, I don't wander beyond the Nature forums much.

What awesome eye candy...thanks Bob for making my morning.

[Old Timer]

Wonderful work Bob! I always get a big kick out of viewing your post. Keep it up.

Those reflection shots are amazing Bob. The first one is my favourite, beautiful!

LOL - OH.....THAT one! I knew that contest as the WPOTY competition. Yes, I'll be entering that one this year. I always wait until the last minute though. Sadly, I can't enter my White Morph.....But I have plenty of others that may make a run. that is definitely THE wildlife photography competition. The only other one like it is the Nature's Best competition.

Great work as always Gorgeous reflections! But my very favourite is the piping plover, wauw....

You'd be hard pressed to find calm water like that, in SW MN.

[Loupey]

Wow! Those brown pelican shots are amazing!

(the others are great too )

[Canon_Bob]

FYI all - I got a positive ID on that Plover. It is indeed a Piping Plover. That's a new species for me, and another notch in my "Endangered Species" handle! They are hard to ID in their Winter Plumage because they look so much like Semipalmated Plovers.

I am inspired and frustrated all at the same time!

Those are absolutely gorgeous!!
