My girl and I at Fort Worth, TX at the Botanical Gardens last weekend. Technically, I didn't take that one, but I took several on my own. I'll find a good one or two to post.

Re: Spring has Sprung
Glad to see someone else interested.
Meanwhile, Mocking Birds have built a nest in the hedge in our front yard. It is wonderful watching the parents bring food for the fledglings. I plan to try getting a photo of the little ones tomorrow morning. The plan is to set up a ladder about 20 feet from the nest and peer down with a 200-300 mm lens. We will see if it works. The sun ought to be right in the morning.

Re: Spring has Sprung
Well, the sun did not co-operate, so no baby bird photos yet. I have not given up :)
The skys did clear, we were driving around near Galveston Bay.

Re: Spring has Sprung
The Baby Mocking Birds are growing. Even though it was overcast this morning, I set a ladder in the yard so I could shoot down into the nest. The parent birds were not real happy with me, but it worked. I ended up shooting with a 200 mm lens about 5-6 feet from the nest.

Due to the overcast, the depth of field is pretty shallow.
