YUP .........PALM

THIS is a nearly perfect ID shot!

[paulnj]

SWEET!!! I haven't seen a pine siskin in years!!!!!

[Speed]

Loaded the large files (1536 X 1024 pixels) and cropped the egret for you.

Not great shots, but you can ID the bird with these. ;-)

[paulnj]

That's a great egret

[Lava Lamp]

Went out today and was delighted to find this bird. He was far, far way, though and way off road in poor light. This (alas) was the best shot I got.

[Lava Lamp]

Less interesting animal, better shot (@ 1/20 and 500mm!)

[paulnj]

Getting a piliated in your sights is HARD, as they are very secretive in nature! I would be happy with this as an ID shot for sure!

That squirrel is great for a 1/20th shot!

Yeah, when I was out there I thought: "If PaulNJ was here he couldn't proabbly get up close."

Looks like your thread is #1 in replies by a mile and in striking distance of #2 in views.

A couple of very common birds these two. But, it is what they are both doing in this photo that makes it so interesting! Enjoy!

I shot this through a window and window screen which did some weird things. I had applied some PS filtering to get this look (which I kinda like), but may have deleted the original. Had a flock around my ouse this spring - they would fly off to a neighbor's yard whenever I wet tout. Anyway, the first time I ever remember seeing them here. Can I get an ID?

[paulnj]

This image is GREAT!

The horizon is tilted(so what), but that appears to be the angle, not a crocked camera

australian white pelican and Ido believe silver gull.

Is that robin grey on the back? The robins flock up during migration, so I wouls assume they were migrating BACK when you got this .

BTW... What threads have more views than 5117?

The "List of Photography Websites" and "Post Your Pictures of Photographers" threads have more views. Yes, I think they had grey backs. It seemed like some of them were designated lookouts (on the roof, etc.) while te flock fed in low bushes.

Thanks paul. Btw, my name is paul as well :-)

yes, the sand bank in the back ground curves around out of shot and back to where I was standing. It is a very interesting area that is for sure.
Here is another shot from the same area, same day. Im not sure what kind of bird this one is, I think it starts with a "P", but I can't think of it atm.

[Audible]

Another aussie icon bird. These are pretty hard to photograph due to the black glossy feathers.

[paulnj]

RATS......WE must beat them too ;)

Paul, I do believe the first is a crested tern and your last is a magpie.

Yes black shiny birds are VERY hard to get detail in as with the US species of crow for instance(which I have trouble with)

Crested Tern. I'll remember that! First time I have photographed one. Not a bird you see in the city where I live, though I remember seeing them in Mandurah, a place about 50 miles south of the city.

Crows? Yes, very hard to get a good photo off. The photo of this one is obsured by one of my lunch chips in it's beak!

Aptly named "chip thief" this shot!

[paulnj]

there ya go! nice exposure!

[JSPhoto]

Well this ole coot and I have a history. I first caught this one walking along a dam and then under a dock, finally peeking his head out. Still trying to find those shots in over 300 DVD's full of photos.

This one I got as he flew off with a crawfish for dinner. I must have 200 shots of this one bird...

I can't usully get too close to GBH's in my area, but in FLORIDA(The pet bird state)....... ;)

keep them coming because last I checked the photographer's website thread had 7,047 views! WE need to top that ;)

[Mike T]

Here's a couple of old ones I found on the computer, these were shot on film I can't remember if they were slide or negative but they were scanned with a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II.

Here's the second one, these where probably shot this time of year a few years back.

Cropped and blurry, but should be an easy ID, right?

[SmartWombat]

......But is that a fieldfare? I am not too sure of the ID.

Me neither - you're the bird nerd !
We're still clearing my Dad's house, and he died nearly a year ago, but I know there's the Oxford book of birds in there.
I'll go check when I get back from Spain (work) and Belgium (pleasure) before we go over to Germany for the DTM season final race at Hockenheim.
