    Doofy

    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?

    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.

    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!

    Re: Post Your Bird Images Here!!!!!!!

    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.

    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.

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

    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!

    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...

    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.

    Where and when..... can you crop tighter too. I have a feeling it's one of 2 birds, but the white rump is killing me and the detail in the bill is hard to see.

    Re: Post Your Bird Images Here!!!!!!!

    Went for a walk today and saw these 2 at a little nature path in our town. As I understand, they have been here for a while, but it is the first time that I'd ever seen them. Shows how observant (or lazy) I am...hehe...hope you enjoy them. I don't usually get a chance to get this up close and personal with wildlife and it was a real treat to get in close enough for some very nice detail.

    Ah.... mute swans ;)

    They are an introduced species from europe.

    They are common in my area, but VERY rare to your area as a wild(non domesticated) species.
