Hello,

Here's a capercaillie taken in north Finland.
50D with Sigma 120-400mm

Great shot....leaves me wondering what his call sounds like.

+1...gorgeous photo. And he looks delicious ;D

That really is a beautiful image! I love all the moss he/she's standing in as well. Great composition, never seen one of these before!

 

[Krob78]

Do these count?

I like it! Bird of Paradise are beautiful. I would have liked to have seen some droplets on the rest of the plant behind the Bird, in the second image though... Very nice!

Apparently someone put their pet Muscovy Duck out at one of the local parks in San Diego. Really interesting looking duck and reminded me of a dog when it would come over and wag its tail feathers while speaking duckese to me(feed me?). 5D MK III w/ 100mm f/2.8L

The rains have abated and the birds are out! And yes, not another Hawk picture from me. That chap seems to have ditched me. Never mind, there are may more fish in the sea or birds in the air!

So here are a couple of Hornbills - one adult and a juvenile and the parent has got a delicious treat! They come to this tree next to my house to feast on the caterpillars there!

Wow, excellent shots! I'm amazed that was with a 100mm lens. Was it a remote camera/flash setup (I can't imagine any other way you would get that close to a humming bird! ) I just planted a bunch of trumpet vine in my yard in a bid to attract humming birds. I've been wanting to do some setup photography for them for a while...hope it works! (As it cost me a LOT of mula....)

So this morning (close to noonish) a Crow Pheasant came visiting our garden. I stalked him and he did not seem too bothered about it although he would keep something between us - a bush or even a leaf. Here are three pictures. Not too good, but they'll do.

The first was shot without flash ISO 25600, 1/1000th, f8 I thought quite usable though you can see noise when you blow it up - but that is expected of ISO 25600...

The second one is shot with flash so ISO 400, 1/200, f8. The classic "No pictures darling" as he/she races across

The third one also with flash, ISO 400, 1/200, f8. Apparently even the late birds get the worm!

All taken with 5D3, 100-400L. The flash is 600EX-RT.
