[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 230030, member: 17556"] I did some Google searching and found we have quite a few nature/birding trails all very close to me here in the Tallahassee area of Florida. So I will be heading out to some of them soon to get some new meat to shoot. Oh, there is one of these parks where the workers will put up life-like birds for you to photograph from a tripod. Birds that don't move. They do that in Australia ya know! :p (j/k) Hopefully I will eventually encounter the Bald Eagle, which we actually have plenty of here, the Osprey that I see quite often even downtown areas, Kites and all sorts of wading birds. Of course we have tons of Hawks. One lives and hunts at one of the downtown shopping malls. I saw him knock a pidgeon out of the sky right in front of me two weeks ago. He landed on it and gripped it with his talons and took off. What was strange was he was in the middle of the roadway with cars on either side of him. The car in front of me could have rolled their window down and touched him. Anyway, hope to see some new birds soon! [/QUOTE]
