As always, Cleve, all your last posts are great! I especially liked the Peregrine and Red Tailed Hawk in one frame. All other photos are also highly enjoyable!...
Thanks, Alex. You're right, my new camera is the 5D Mk II. I got it mainly for its video capability. While it has a number of limitations as well as posing...
Sorry, but I have been concentrating on learning the video functions of the new camera. Weather and birds haven't been real cooperative until this morning. The...
Close, Shirley, but the other way around. The southside male has the full helmet. The female has more of the malar stripe look. ... that ... functions ... ...
