Ever heard the saying "That's for the birds"? Well today was one of those days.


A bird, Sparrow? A White-crowned Sparrow


Another bird, Hot footin Sparrow? WCS


A different species bird, Sparrow? A Black-throated Sparrow


A Say's Phoebe, I think Yes

Thanks @Roy1961 and @Danno for your comments.

Who would have thought that an old, heavy equipment mechanic would be walking around taking photos of birds. HA!

Are there that many various birds around, are you having to do a lot of hunting for them, or are you like a Disney character with birds buzzing around? Quite the variety.

Ha! Are you kidding? I see others posting so many different varieties of birds that I get jealous. I just walk around the perimeter of my property for a daily walk with my dog and as I see them, I try to get a picture. Some days are more productive than others. One day I will set up some feeders and really become a "Bird Watcher" and sing the song, "I'm a bird watcher, I'm a bird watcher, watching birds fly by.... LOL

 

[Moab Man]

So you're saying you ARE a Disney character?

I love birds, I used to have a feeder in the oak tree. Between the feeder and the birdbath, I got a bunch of birds I had never seen before. I want to do that again this year and see if I can get a few images. I may have to set-up with a remote trigger or something.

Day #28 Jan. 28

A Window shot that I thought I might use for my 52, but decided to use it here. Forget about "window shopping." I don't think I have ever seen so many paper flyers on a shop window. Ha!


And of course, I had to get a photo of a bird. Loggerhead Shrike
Which is my better side? This one


or this one?

Your window shot is like the shops in our local sea side towns.

well you wouldn't have to clean the inside of the windows to much with those pages all over it??

Day #29 Jan. 29

A little variety today. Mostly having fun with GIMP and post processing effects.

One of a few of Western Meadowlarks that I caught flying by. It's pretty hard to catch these in focus as they fly by.

Playing with B&W "On the job"

Playing with Oil Paint "Yucca" that caught my attention, but the light wasn't quite right for what I wanted.

A two shot handheld Pano "Sunset"

Day #30 Jan. 30

I like luck when I don't have skill.
Western? Meadowlarks in flight

Scattering from the tree

Another lucky shot

Day #30 continued


Western Meadowlark looking for an escape route.

Singing away

And of course, the mandatory Loggerhead

Early morning moon

Sandhill Cranes silhouetted in the early morning


Sandhill Cranes getting their formation together

Day 31 (continued)

A field with some interesting lines in the early morning sun.

A two shot handheld pano of Cochise Stronghold. The rocky mountains were one of the escape routes for Cochise, who was dodging the US Calvary. (Stitched with Microsoft ICE)

A four shot handheld pano of the evening sunset as a storm is coming in. (Stitched with Microsoft ICE)

Day #32 Feb. 1

Playing around with the new flash (YN568EX) just to see what/how to adjust things. This was just a "quick" off camera flash shot to see if it would work with the D7100 Commander Mode.

This is a five shot pano of the same hills I posted yesterday. It is looking off of the back part of my walking road around the property. What a difference a little snow makes in the middle of the night.

And a reje... err I mean a runner up for the weekly challenge "On the Job"
