Just Doing Some Birding Today, these birds give me goose bumps when they fly this close. We are camped near an air force base. My favorite kind of camping as the air force is doing practice runs everyday.

Best seats in town, I just pull up my chair grab the camera and watch them do their maneuvers. Amazing technology.

Are you wondering how I got this first shot, being it looks like I am in a plane right next to them. 🙂

They were flying pretty close and banking right around us on my right side, so with a telephoto lens and cropping the photo a bit, it looks like we are right there with them. 🙂 Have a great weekend.

Its a Bird Its a Plane, its lots of birds with wings down. I have put two videos on my you tube channel showing these little birds roaming around the beaches. Along with my camera settings I typically use while photographing birds. The videos are a little longer than usual so I will just put the links here; 5 Tips for Sharper Wildlife Images and Shutter Speed Settings – New Bird – Sting Rays

Wings up

I can’t remember if I told you all, but I made a list of all the birds in North America, I think it is 900 plus. I made a spread sheet of the names and I check them off as I photograph them. So I have two new birds to add to the list. This one below is called the Greater White Faced Goose. They are found mostly west of the Mississippi.

And these two below are called Black Neck Stilts, I am wondering is it because of their long legs, stilts? But they don’t have black necks either. But that is what they look like when I tried to find what type of bird these are.

I am up to 104 different birds photographed as of today.

Oh and this one below, just two wings. It is kind of a bird in the air.

Its a Bird Its a Plane On March 29, 1966, Charles Strouse and Lee Adams introduced their new musical, It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, It’s Superman, cleverly staged by Harold Prince, who also produced it, and starring the Man of Steel himself, Bob Holiday in the title role.

The water levels are a little low here on the Mississippi River, this Eagle looks like he has been playing in the mud.

And this flew over as I was sitting in my chair by the river photographing birds.

And then this flew over, it seemed pretty close being I can almost read the numbers on it as it went over. Plus a train sounding its horn in the background. It wasn’t the quietest of mornings.
