i know the second one is the Snowy Egret

Love the kingfisher in your previous post!

This one is NOT an egret. It is the cousin to the hunchback of notre dame! I really like this!

 

[Roy1961]

a no neck egret, maybe its the cold snap we are having, down to 75deg.

So jealous of the array of birds. Nice captures.

You are correct on the Kingfisher and Osprey. The middle could be a Harrier. Just remember, my guessing hasn't been that great lately.

Sorry, I missed that one. It's a Great Blue Heron. Nice shots.

Great thread, Roy!

I might've missed it, but what was your camera settings (EXIF) for the hummingbird pics?

Day 6, ONLY 359 to go

The moon always comes in handy for a daily shot, and the sunset

 

[Roy1961]

the exif data for the moon was f8 1/500 iso 100 spot meter and +1.7exp

 

[Roy1961]

Sorry, I missed that one. It's a Great Blue Heron. Nice shots.

i was thinking it was a tricolor because of the white and dark in it?

 

[mikew_RIP]

Nice couple Roy,i must do the moon this year

 

[Roy1961]

i seem to have more success hand held than tripod Mike, which is strange, i tried this one through some reddish clouds to see what would happen.

 

[snaphappy]

Great moons Roy, even in the cloudiness your moon has nice craters! My handheld shots suck with my wussy unsteady arms holding the big 70-300mm lens. I could never go pro because I'd never be able to hold up those big lenses and keep them steady without at least 1/1000 LOL

 

[Flugelbinder]

Great shots Roy!

 

[Scott Murray]

Excellent shots Roy
