African Hawk-Eagle
Canon 6D
EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro IS USM
@ iso 640, 1/1000, f/6.3

That's amazing!

 

[serendipidy]

That is quite a close-up of that African Hawk-Eagle! How did you get that close?

I´m a bit envious to all of you with large spectacular birds to shoot. I only have my small and jumpy friends to shoot these days. But they are charming small creatures and I really enjoy having them around the house.

1DX, 840mm, f5.6, ISO4000

small and jumpy but so colorful. Nice work as always.

Ruddy Duck, dressed for the prom.

5Diii, 400 DO, ISO 400, "M" setting, f8 @ 1/800

Well dressed indeed! Lovely photo.

Love the recent shots guys. I never tire of chickadees. Eldar my sympathies and to prove I mean it here's another Pileated shot, all I get except for Downy, chickadees and nuthatches with the odd grosbeak thrown in.

He never stays still either, with that head constantly darting every direction.

Fantastic capture, Jack. So sharp and such great colors.

 

[serendipidy]

Nice heron shot.

American Kestrel, balancing in the wind. 7D MkII, 1.4x III, 100-400 Mk II

Wonderful capture. Nice work.

 

[serendipidy]

Very nice series, Cog.

Yes, love those cormorants blue eyes.

 

[serendipidy]

Very nice work. I'm trying to decided if I want the new 7D MK II as I'm now using the 5D MK II and was interested in the 1.6 crop factor for wildlife.

These are excellent!

I posted these images earlier and they didn't show up. I hope they don't double post.

Very nice series Larry. Well done.

Fantastic shots Larry! Ingenious use of a baby stroller. Does anyone ask if they are twins ;D

Thank you for the positive feedback. I have received many unfavorable glances when others realize that the stroller is not inhabited by children. I have others that are interested in hearing the story about it's origin, and seeing some of the images it has allowed me to capture. Others want to take photos for their own possible modifications. Overall it has been well received. One lady that I see often, and is an experienced birder, will tell strangers they are my babies LOL

I really like your second shot, Larry. Well done.

I didn't see an area to give any personal info about myself. I'm originally from Michigan recently moved to Florida. I'm retired and enjoy releasing the shutter as much as anything I have ever done my entire life. My son is a professional photographer in New York and our long distance phone conversations have taught me more about the art of photography than any other form of education I have been involved in. I live in the woods on the Nature Coast of Florida and have dedicated my entire yard to animal, bird, and insect photography. With no immediate neighbors I have the freedom to experiment, explore and try unconventional techniques to capture unique images. I also use the Florida State Park system to allow me access to certain species that would otherwise be much more difficult to observe, and photograph.

More great shots, luv em all!

Thanks Serendipidy.

So excited today. I think I got my first shot of a turkey vulture! ;D Hope I don't get banned. :-[

Larry,
Your photos added real gems to this topic, in additional to those other contributors here who gave us superb photos. Speaking for myself, I love to see your photos. I'm sure a lot of us are happy you made your photos available here.
I read that you got the idea of using a baby carriage to tote your gear around from a gun carriage, so this means you have a camera carriage 8)! Both shoot! One with bad results, the other with good results.
Keep posting!
