Day #69 Mar. 9 This first shot is not the best, but I like the angle of the Dove landing on the wire. This guy was trying to "Air Dry" after getting a bath (Just guessing). A lock found locking a barbed wire gate. This guy was sitting in the same place earlier in the day. The light was...

I very rarely have tried to use the built in flash. Yesterday, while shooting some "junk" in the garage the fluorescent lighting was dim so I popped up the internal flash. It fired one time, but I had placed my hand in front of the flash to diffuse the light. Not being happy with the results...

Very nice sunrise shots, @Danno. Beautiful. I am reminded of a friend who said one time, "If the good Lord wanted me to see the sun rise, He would make it happen later in the day." I just have to laugh, because of what she has missed over the years. Such a beautiful sight.

Week #10 Theme: Shapes or Angles Mesquite Scraps

Day #68 Mar. 8 Another overcast day with not much time for photography. This guy's color caught me eye. I couldn't get close to him. He kept trying to stay just a little flight out of range. This was the only shot I got of him and it is cropped big time! Ha! This is a Dove in flight and the...

Day #67 Mar. 7 Today was a slow picture day. Windy, overcast and ..... income tax preparation time. :( I tried to get a better angle on this Sparrow, but it kept the bush branches directly in the background. Eurasian Dove on a wire with the only blue sky of the day in the background...

@Blacktop, Well Pete, you may have given an update report on the sensor spots today and I missed it. Anyway still clean after shooting some today??

Day #66 (Continued) Tonight's Sunset Playing with low light shots. Eurasian Dove Slow (1/25' Shutter), Handheld, Landscape. Watering the grass.

Day #66 Mar. 6 A Eurasian (Collared) Dove A shot that I am fairly pleased with. Some Gambels Quail in flight. Usually they are gone in the brush before I can get the camera up or they end up out of focus. Today they caught me off guard, but stayed in a relatively open space just long...

Actually it is the TOP SIX having a three-way tie for 4th & 5th. Congratulations! @Bob Blaylock @Needa @stamatisg2002 @Needa @mikew @Marilynne Congratulations!!! Thanks to all who participated in this Months Assignment.

@Roy1961 And just because I was already looking in the Merlin ID, I think the second bird is a Brewers Sparrow. (Don't forget, I am not a "Bird Watcher". I only take photos of them because they are convenient. Ha!)

@Roy1961 How about a Canyon Towhee?

Day #65 Mar. 5 Today started out not looking too good for pictures. This bird was a "get something for the day" type photo. And then later in the day, I got this bird. Spring has sprung, if the new budding leaves are any indication. If history repeats itself, we will have a hard freeze or...

Day #64 Mar. 4 Another Dove shot. Not as in focus as I would have liked, but it was flying fast and almost on top of me. Body and camera just don't move that fast. Ha! It is that time of year when the local Crop Duster is out and about. And the prize for today goes to this one. IMHO

Thanks @Marilynne

@Roy1961 That explains it, I think. I have one of those overpriced iPhones. Ha!
