Jack, Click and rpt...thank you for your kind words.

Yes, my wife scolds me whenever I climb up on the ladder. Whatever it takes to get the shot ;D

Sweet!

Where were you when you got this shot?

More crazy eyes.
A Double crested Cormorant stops fishing to check me out. The bird was perfectly lit in warm afternoon light. They have such bizarre eyes, I did a max crop to see the inner structure. Very odd !

60D and 100- 400mm The crop was shot at 1000th at f5.5 and ISO 1000
(the eye crop shows some great inner detail when viewed at full size.)

Thanks - the photos were taken in Edgartown Harbor on Martha's Vineyard.

African Snake Eagle, I think.

Birds aren't my usual as I like stuff with Large Teeth & Attitude, but I cant resist Eagles & Owls, Ostriches are good also, they don't move too fast.

It looks like it has the face of a cat!

I think you are right in your bird ID.

Excellent shot.

Yes, great pic. Some worm that!

I am not sure, but I think this is a female wood duck (and chicks). Shot in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with my p/s. I'm going back tomorrow with the real camera and will try to do better, and look for the male. Can anyone confirm it's a wood duck?

Nice shot. I like the scene.

This first one is the closest a bird has ever let me get. He didn't budge even when I was within 5-6 feet. For a while I thought I was looking stupid photographing what appeared to be a bird statue.

I used to bring my camera to work and go to the local park on lunch as a form of stress relief. It was nice, especially when the ducks were posing for family portraits.
