I dragged the telescope setup around again this morning hoping my eyes would be more up to the challenge of focusing through 2120mm of glass @ f/20. Alas, they...
After several attempts, today was the first time I was able to see and photograph the injured peregrine that has been hanging around Morro Bay. Unfortunately,...
Still, these are good enough to see it is indeed a scruffy bird! We had one on a survey who we knicknamed "Pigpen" because he was so dirty-looking. We think he...
This is the only one I could salvage out of a series of 5 photos of W/M. Unfortunately, my digital Nikon takes a bit more care to use than my other cameras,...
My guess would be the leg. In all of the perched pictures I have seen, the talons seem to be grasping fine. In-flight shots showed the right leg hanging down....
Photos featuring an osprey on approach and landing, the last thing a fish wants to see (and for some, the last they will see), and, finally, the last thing I...
Nice photos of the Osprey, Cleve. On shot #9 it looks as though this bird is hoping you taste like a fish...or cussing you out because you somehow interfered...
Three photos of our darling Peregrine Falcons from 12/17-18/06 are at http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Raptor_Watch/photos/browse/72f3?c= Enjoy, Mike Baird ...
Sorry folks. Santa didn't bring anything special - - just another (longer) sequence of that same osprey on approach and landing in the same tree. For any who...
Ahhh, but what a lovely bird! And such a master of your craft, Cleve. The photos are clear...so clear I can see the changes in color on the feathers...all the...
What a gorgeous Osprey and the sequencing is SPECTACULAR... Cleve, you undersell your accomplishments. Always in appreciation for the folks on this forum to...
Well, now I have to recant. After posting this, I downloaded images from a second camera that I use for offhand shots and found something very special to me. ...
As always, I appreciate the generous words. Glad to hear you got a kite for Christmas, Dianna. I hope it sticks around for you to enjoy. Interesting to hear...
Thanks so much, Kate. Lavish praise, indeed. I just hope to do a measure of justice to these beautiful creatures. ... knowledge, ... the ... the "Slide ... c=...
... This is red tail is a beauty! What a surprise to find it after so many months. I was at our local Morro Bay Museum of Natural History and I saw some really...
... Thanks, Ruth. I'm glad you were able to catch the photo exhibit before it comes down this Saturday. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
We were blessed to be able to spend Tuesday through Sat. (morning) in Morro Bay. We saw a male and female peregrine at dusk both Thursday and Friday nights....
Since Judy had to go and post some of my lousier photos of the injured peregrine, albeit on her site, I thought I would show you the other bird that was...
Hey, don't go picking on my ratty friends! This one has . . . well, character. Personality. Special feather arrangments. Now, Cleve, to be fair, post those two...
