Jan. 14, 2017 Stuff Sparrow This was an accident. I was playing with OCF. I got a phone call and as I answered it, the remote shutter release cable triggered the camera uncontrollably (Bad connection). As I tried to shut it down, with the OCF in my hand, this was one of the resulting...

Jan. 13 aka Friday the 13th Sunset from my front porch--HDR of three shots. EXIF DATA Screen Shot

@Roy1961 If you keep up the page a day, I think I will talk to the mods to lock it for you every day or so. My smoke signal internet service really makes it tough to stay up. Ha! I started going through your today's posts at 7:00 am and now look what time it is when I finished. LOL

Jan. 12, 2017 I walked out again this morning with the 70-300 instead of the 200-500 lens because it was overcast and I figured there wouldn't be much to shoot. And then on two different occasions, I found the American Kestrel that seems to only show himself when I have the 70-300mm...

I'm sure glad that this thread was brought back to the forefront. I had to go through it all because I don't think I saw it before. Some great photos and stories have been shared. The only regret is that many who posted here we don't see activity from now. And just a side note: @DonnieZ...

Jan. 11, 2017 Almost didn't get anything for today. I took a quick afternoon drive and happened upon about 15 deer in a field. Not the usual sight around here.

Jan. 10, 2017 Today they let me roam around a little bit, so I got a few shots of the jail where I am usually kept. Ha! And them a shot of my "Get-A-Way" car

Jan. 9 (continued) Just a Sparrow Charlie, in his bored pose when we are on our walk and I stop to take a photo.

Jan. 9, 2017 After not seeing the Kestrel for a couple of days and having lugged around the 200-500mm Lens, I decided today to go with the lighter 70-300mm. You guessed it. The American Kestrel was back. Ha!

Jan. 8, 2017 A Red-tailed Hawk It was sitting on a pole between the sun and myself. Not good for a photo. Then it decided to fly toward me and gave me the opportunity for a couple of shots. A Logger Head Shrike sitting on the pole that the Kestrel had been on for a couple of days last week.

I was hoping that when I went to town today I would find something to fit this category, but since I didn't I will use what I have.

Week #1 "Standing out in a crowd" No crowds around here. This was the best I could do to find a crowd to stand out in. Ha!

Jan. 6 The Sparrows saved me today. I have carried the 200-500mm lens for the last two days hoping to get a shot of the Kestrel that has been hanging around without having to crop the heck out of it. Today lugging that heavy lens around, all I saw was some sparrows in a dreary atmosphere. Blah.
